This *will* happen again.  You need to have a conversation with your
provider and convince them to ignore reports of this form for your
exit node, or else you need to get a new provider.  I would open the
conversation with something like this:

| This machine is a Tor exit node, which, as part of its normal operation,
| proxies traffic for other hosts on the Internet.  By design, it is impossible
| for me to identify those other hosts or communicate with their operators.
| It is one of those other hosts that was infected with s_downloaderbot-mxb.
|
| Because Tor users are very diverse, I can't guarantee that this will never
| happen again.  You should expect ongoing false positives for this machine
| on all checks for malware infection, outdated operating system, etc.
|
| I have the ability to disable proxying to specific IP address ranges and
| specific TCP ports, but this should be considered a last resort tactic.  It
| does not actually prevent anyone from using Tor to send spam or whatever;
| the traffic will just move to some other exit node.  I also have the
ability to
| limit the total bandwidth consumed by Tor.
|
| I'm happy to work with you to minimize the impact of this service on your
| network.  I hope you will consider allowing it to remain in operation, as it
| is extremely valuable for people who need to conceal their official
| identities online, especially in countries where access to the Internet
| is restricted.  For more information please see
