I installed PTO Rising Sun and now I am getting frequent alerts from my security program that it is blocking .htaccess files because of a BV:Redirector-AE (Trj) infection.
Can anyone give me advise on this?

Delete those files,(.htaccess ) they will cause any anti virus program to go crazy..
Will do. Thanks!
Well, tried doing that and got an Error Deleting File or Folder window that popped up. Inside it said Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source or disk.
Hi swpierce, what happens when you run your antivirus programme?
Doing a quick Google, it looks like the .htaccess programme can be hacked so that when you undertake certain actions you get redirected to a site containing malware (in this case the redirection appears to be BV:redirect).
But the strange thing is, this process seems to be something that happens within a website. Are you running a website? Another question is from where and when did you download Rising Sun? It may be that the hosting site is compromised which is a bit of a worry.
Hello. Thanks for the assist.
I downloaded the Rising Sun files from the aussiex website.
I do not have a website up when the alert occurs. I do not host any website either.
When running a search for the .htaccess files in the Rising Sun folder the total number of files found decreases with time. I am now down to 2 files.
I ran a scan on these 2 and Avast found no viruses within.
