+WRASTRO Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 My McAfee popped up and said there was a trojan by that name on this site. Sounds like the same false report discussed on this thread: http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=180972 Link to comment

+Glenn Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 It is a false positive. Go on in your virus detection program and either turn Heuristics detection down to a lower level or turn it off all together. Don't worry this will NOT open your system up to viruses as this has no effect on the signature detection. If you want more information you can read How Virus Detection Works. Link to comment

+MrCOgeo Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 (edited) For McAfee users specifically as well, I'd also suggest updating your DAT (database files) immediately. McAfee has had some false positives specifically addressed in later DAT releases, =>#5198.
