Scanned with Avast/Antivir/Housetrend and didn't get nothing on the files or the installers. I'd recommend checking with a computer that isn't tied to the one with the virus and doing it again. You could have a injected dll in the system that tries to bind itself to EXE files on use on that computer, which might seem like a virus on the exe file but it's more or less a virus on the whole computer. I also checked the server computer.. It seems okay here with Avast! Etc. Redownloaded just to check on my home computer.. Just letting you know though  |

I get the same alert from Avast.
Win32:Trojan-gen {Other}
Virus/Worm
It just decided to start happening after a recent virus database update. It happens on the installers for both 1.3.4.1 and 1.3.5.1, but it doesn't happen anywhere else. My system is clean. It's clearly a false positive, but it is happening.
Personally, I'm getting sick of Avast.

I, too, get a false positive. I guess it's not system specific.

Really? That's odd, maybe I'll submit something to them.

Avast! is a flaming piece of feces. It used to be fine but its doing poorly on false positives in the A/V Comparitives tests.
Avira is usually battling the #1 spot out with NOD32

well on one pc that has never got a infection i have AVG 8.0 paid and its near perfect altho slow. on pc 2 i have norton 360 paid and its intensive and slow but alert and fairly good. i like the AVG the best. Grisoft has good products.
none of mine show any virus or worm on sf at all.
next i hope someone would come up with a skillet av.. that would be sweet.
