Thank you for your reply Max.
I have run Bit Defender and it claims to find a lot of stuff. So I
concentrated on one smaller partition. There it claims to find 6
instances including 3 of W32.Netsky.P@mm and claims to remove them but
when I rerun it it finds them all over again
I ran Symantec's Netsky removal tool on the entire system and it finds
nothing.
So I think we conclude that these applications are throwing up false
positive. Would you agree?
