Program executable suspected as virus by NOD32

(1/3) > >>

amotzg:
On the 19/11/09 at 00:22 after a database update NOD32 antivirus from ESET reported the executable file of FARR 2.71.01 (FindAndRunRobot.exe) as a Win32/Genetik trojan virus.
While trying to download a setup of the latest version (2.77.02) NOD32 reported the downloading setup file as the same trojan and prevented the download.

Have any one else have encountered this?
What should I do?

Thanks,
amotzg.

scancode:
As usual, antivirus software overreacting.

Has happened a crapload of times around here:

It's a false positive.  Very frustrating since Nod32 is usually good about these things.
As discussed on some of the threads that scancode points to, the thing to do in such cases is upload the file in question to a site like virustotal for a second opinion.

Since I use Nod32 myself i will email them.. usually they are pretty good about correcting these kinds of mistakes promptly.

I've ranted a lot about the harm these virus companies are doing to developers with their sloppy and irresponsible attitude towards false positives.  Just stumbled on this blog item about it by the folks at nirsoft:
