Hello Sam,

This looks like an connection error, when trying to download  
gdk\_pixbuf2-1.2.3-x86-mingw32.gem from [production.cf.rubygems.org](http://production.cf.rubygems.org), you  
may  
want to try and run the gem install command again at a later point, as  
it  
may be simple maintenance, or ISP issues, that will be resolved.

I tried to reinstall the visualruby gem and my Avast Antivirus stopped  
it and said that the following file:

```
 http://production.cf.rubygems.org/gems/gdk_pixbuf2-1.2.3-x86-mingw32.gem|data.tar.gz|data.tar|vendor\local\bin\gdk-pixbuf-pixdata.exe

```

is infected with the Win32:Malware-gen virus. Can you please scan the  
file for viruses and then let me know when I can reinstall it?

Thanks,

Sam
