Dear all:

I am using Ethereal for Windows...

Because I am in a switched network I can only capture multicast and unicast
traffic.

When I merge two files with TCP filter my firewall (Symantec 8.00.9374)
detect the "CodeRed Warm" virus and prohibited to me save the merged file...

I can't also save the supposed infected file with another name...

I scanned the file in question separately and no virus is detected...also
I can open the file with Ethereal without problems...

I guess is a spam virus...

How I can manage this situation,
I appreciate your help,
César Cárdenas
