Thanks, I used to use that one when I had a windows machine and it did seem
to work and play better than others.

I was curious if maybe malwarebytes doesn't like bbses but it sounded like
it was only my board that was tripping the alert which makes me think mro
might be right about the port scanners/blacklists.  I have been getting hit
a lot lately with script bots that tie up / lock up the telnet service, and
a few that have hit me both there and the web interface at the same time.

I scanned the system with ClamAV.  It did find a bunch of PUAs -- DOS
programs for download that are compressed with PKlite or were compiled
using watcomm (not sure why that is an issue) -- but it did not find any
trojans or viruses.
