ActiveSync McAfee Netsky

Everytime I activesync my Dell AXIM with My Win XP Pro desktop, I get an warning from McAfee Viruse Scan Asap antivirus on my PC that I have a NETSKY virus on my handheld. I move the spam or mass mailed infected email to a local pst and delete it. Even when the infected attachment has been deleted, I get a virus warning on my PC during sync'ing. I have updated dat's and scan the PC regularrly, there are never viruses.

Here is the mcAfee message.

Source: C:\DOCUME~1\admin\LOCALS~1\Temp\ActiveSync\details _info.zip
Click for more information about this virus : W32.Netsky.P@mm

This is a pop email account. I use Outlook 2003.

THe only solution is to tha works is to unselect - sync'ing the aatachments, manually scan for suspicious emails attachments, delete them and than resync with attachments.
