Good idea. Will do this.

 

The build machine is used only for building. It is not used for surfing the internet. Despite having all servicepacks installed here is a chance that the build machine is infected.

 

The distribution server is Linux-based and has the latest patches provided by Debian. It is not impossible that it might have been hacked but recent checks for viruses and rootkits were negative.

 

Using Avira Antivir on a third PC I did not see any virus warning coming up.
