Oh dear,

Some background info: all the apps on my pen drive is the latest version available from this site and I have the latest signature files for ClamWin Portable.

Just ran a scan on my PortableApps USB drive and below is the scan summary. The virus scanner on my PC did not detect anything when I ran a scan on the same drive afterwards.
