[Elecraft] K3 MARS mod, showing a virus

[Charlie T, K3ICH]

OT, but I use the old "StopZilla" (AVM-2013)  program which was the ONLY one 
that found and fixed that popup telling you that you need to pay to have it 
removed. Norton & McAfee said my system was fine.  Then, after about two 
minutes, the pop up popped up again!
StopZilla bagged it and I've never had a problem since I installed it.  It's 
not free, but you get a lifetime purchase and free updates which happen 
about once a week as they keep up with the latest malware/spyware etc.

73, Charlie k3ICH
