    Did a virus scan today with clamwin and discovered that one of the infected files is a .msi file belonging to the sierra wireless watcher package. It's possible the file was in the distribution I downloaded and installed, so bear this in mind if you go to download one of the various versions of the Sierra watcher package.

    And you're sure it isn't a false positive? What antivirus flagged it?
