possible virus in dreamweaver?

I'm completely baffled, pleease help!

[Sue_Dunmore]

I was editing my site's Index.html page in dreamweaver MX2004, when I saved it, it went down to 1K size (from 5K), and contained only the following string:

SCU
$%?xc```fpcd`}' /

I thought we'd done something silly as we're new to this, But... Norton A/V is disabled, I've tried Trend's on-call web Anitvirus, that says we're clean. Why don't I believe it?

this has happened each time I reload the index page from a backup.

I'm not doing any more development on any of my sites until I've resolved this (just because I'm paranoid...)

all help/advice gratefully received.

This happened to one of our guys once, it was due to a falty harddrive. Try running scandisk or a disk checking utility.

I doubt if Macromedia would sell a product with or a virus. I would call their help desk.

But I could have picked up a virus that targets dreamweaver Couldn't I?

[Sanenet]

If it is a virus it would more likely be targeting the file rather than the program.

Does the same thing happen with other .html files? Did you try scandisk?

[Sue_Dunmore]

Scandisk found no problems, but I did defrag for good measure!

This may shed more light on it:

If I close the page in dreamweaver without saving, and get the 'do you want to save' box, if I click any of the buttons (yes/no/cancel) the corruption Sometimes happens.

If I've done F12 to test, and said yes to save then, it seems to be OK
