Unfortunately that one isn't easy to fix, it comes straight from the virus
report, and I'm not sure whether I can get at the real name safely from
there. Judging by the fact that it's also listed in upper case, I suspect I
can't find the safe name. The lookup table will have the lower case version.
I can't just generally force the names to lower case as that may cause other
filename clashes.
