this is just a list of text pices found in virus warning messages
in the form (eShield has detected|A virus was found|...). I just
splited it in two regex (a|b|c..):(n|m|..) ...

Anyway it will be better to give more useful messages (like 'regex
to long, exceeds 1023 characters') ... anyone could get fooled
trying to find a regex error that does not exist in a offset it
hardly could find.

Thanx & best regards ...
