IDCS won't open - AWS plug in missing??

[efc...@adobeforums.com]

Virtual drink to anyone who can hlpe out! Whenver I start InDesign 3.0.1 it loads fine until it starts loading the plugins then after the proximity plug in it brings up a dialog box saying that the AWS plugin is missing and needs to be reinstalled for InDesign to load? Where is this plugin and how can I reinstall it? Tried reinstalling InDesign from the original discs and I still get this message - until now none of the Creative Suite programs or the Mac itself have behaved oddly or crahsed a lot or at all in fact - anyone got any ideas??!

Did you trash your prefs?

[efc...@adobeforums.com]

Yep - tried that and still no go!

Have reinstalled the software and it works ok - that plug in is located in the contents folder which doesn't seem to actually appear or be accessible from the Finder anywhere - seems you can only access it via the Configure plug-ins option in InDesign itself...

Have noticed that my anti-virus software has issued an alert on a couple of files during startup of InDesign, they all have numerical names such as 904187,904255 etc and are apparently/allegedly infected by a virus called "MP3Virus.Gen" - anyone any experience of this??

Are you using NAV??

If so don't.

No it's the intego viruscanner - and it seems it is a real threat as covered in this topic

just as a footnote to this - the latest VirusScan definitions download does not think the ID3 files are viruses so appears to be ok again..
