recently acquired a few more possible viruses (I am now up to 374 possible Trojan, backdoor, and virus infected files).

All of the scans were preformed with the following options (if available): scan all files, scan compressed executables, scan inside archive files, and high heuristics.

(The software name and virus definition date precede each test result)
