Detecting RootKits

I found this rather odd...

I just doanloaded returnil's free application from their website and AVG informed me that the SHeur.FA trojan was attached to the download.

Hmm... Has anyone else seen this?

Curt:
You don't have to trust AVG too much on this; I am confident it was a false positive!



Download from: http://www.returnilvirtualsystem.com/index_files/rvspersonal.htm

Just make a search for "avg false positive" here on the forum... Curiously it isn't the first time AVG fools people saying good software has trojans.

ssoundman:
Thanks, Curt & jgpaiva.

I downloaded it from the second of the two links Curt provided and it went just fine.

My wife opened an e-postcard this morning from an unknown source and AVG notified it had intercepted the SHeur.AFJ virus. Doing a scan indicated it had attached to QuikBooks. Searching the normal sources for virus information reveals no information on such a virus although Google lists it as the number 13 search term posted today. Anyone know anything about the virus itself?
