Thanks for the info.

I've zipped the whole EVEMon and submitted to a service that uses 54 different antivirus solutions to detect if anything is wrong.

0 detections.

I play EVE on my work laptop (because I'm a bad) and it has antivirus running. I downloaded and installed the update with no issues or virus alerts..

You've got one of them antivirus that scan your folders and find random infected images, don't you? Oh boy, the internet must be magical for you.

"If you get infected, you'll wish you had never been born
So before it emails your grandmother all of your porn
Turn off your computer and make sure it powers down
Drop it in a forty-three-foot hole in the ground
Bury it completely; rocks and boulders should be fine
Then burn all the clothes you may have worn any time you were online!"

Work laptop. How many users has it gone through? If more than one I'm sure one of them clicked one of those "Enlarge your avatar's sig radius with only a microwarpdrive! Impress the empress with your sig radius" ad you might want to drop that laptop like a hot potato.

Also submerge yourself in boiling water for at least ten minutes, and I mean a roiling boil none of that tiny little bubble bull, don't surface, or you will have to start over again.

It's the only way to be sure.

Scanning ZIPs is incredibly unreliable.
