Icon virii ?

Hi all,
I found a virus yesterday via all the updates flying around lately. I just had installed SFS 1.273 and
went back to finishing updating Aweb.html. So, I go to open the drawer where the file is and the
'busy pointer' goes active for a half a minute! Wow, i can't belive that! The file is about 10Kb or
smaller. Wow, I didn't have this in SFS 1.270 ????
OK, rolling up the sleeves on my T-shirt, and looking into why that happened, I find a sort of
XY virus in the Nuvola icon for Aweb.html! How did the X pos and Y pos of the icon get so high:
2100 on the X dispaly axis and 2000 on Y. Ah, so the drawer takes a long time to open and set
the icon position. Killed the Def_icon in Env-Archive and installed the system one. This olved the
problem.

How that happen? Is it virus or should I say icon virus. Are there more? Oh yes icon virii is everywhere!
I'll leave you all alone with this scary one: grab any "#?.prefs" file and what does RAWinfo say?
Anyone of you experts know what causes that?

The third icon virus comes from ExtraInfo.lha (v1.2). I downloaded it and great difficulty getting the
program to run. There seems to be a evil virus that changed the behavior of "InfWin". I would appreciate
others checking it out. Maybe it just me with all this icon virii spring-up!

@Snuffy

I think you're being a bit paranoid. Just because there is some unexplained behaviour, doesn't mean there are evil kids out to get you with viruses.

Look for a more reasonable explanation in each case.

@Snuffy

May I suggest you take a little more water with it?

An icon is a data file, it is not executable therefore cannot be a virus unless it's one of those irish ones where you have to delete all your files manually and tell your mates to to the same

@Snuffy

My guess is that your settings in Prefs/DefIcons got changed.

Don't put me down;
I'm not "being a bit paranoid."

All my #?. prefs return in RAWInfo as "ScalosPrefs"!
WTF caused that? It was a fresh and new part. for the final update. So where did it come from ? I never install it.

Get real! If come into the system screwing with the X and Y position of all icons, you'd scream in a minute.
This happened with Nuvola icons when I update to SFS 1.273. Maybe it just me, I don't know.

Outside of Scalos, I can think of AFA_OS as a possible source of icon problems and incompatability.
