Volker,
I use AVG at home which is also freeware and has them as virus free. I've also just run them through the works licensed McAfee and they were clean there as well, its probably choking on the *.fsc file which is the FSDS source, maybe the *.sdl files as well, they're not common file extensions so Avira might just be playing safe, I will do an online search for that Trojan as well and see if its linked to certain file extension types.
I think Norton and some others do free online checking of files so I'll check with them tonight.
I would be suprised if they are real Trojans, it is rare for Torjans to hide inside a flight sim file ie corrupt it and then that file still work, some of the files are six years old and stored on CD since then and only put back on my PC the other day, so if its a modern Trojan then it must have been implanted in the upload, in which case the firewall would have picked it up.
You can never be too sure so I will continue to check them.
Best
Michael
