NO you didn't break it -> you are not supposed to "fix" it

Right Just switch to FASM or brew the PE's manually to get even more viriii and viriiiiii and viriiiiiiii ...

IIRC I've seen a thread full of such recently, I just can't find it now

Good. Do you get much angry mail about this "BUG" ?

As you are known to be very sensitive about BUG report validity and seriousness, you could just close all those "BUG" 's as INVALID. As prevention measures, just put a warning on your site:

There is no malware on this site. If you don't understand the purpose of the files, don't download them. They are not intended to be tested for virii. I don't accept complaints about such issues, if you have problems, just stop using your "antivirus" or my files.

or switch to 7-ZIP format and encrypt the files with a good password (revealed on your site):

Brain:ON_RTFM:True_Windaube:Out_ParanoidAboutVirii:False
