Dan:

Virus checking software is not 100% accurate - they can miss a genuine
virus, but can also identify something as a virus, which it is not.  Its
the same sort of thing as with spam filters, where genuine messages can get
dumped in the trash can.  You mustn't believe absolutely everything they
tell you.


Agreed, there's plenty of software I use that virus scanners ID as viruses,
many do thingsa like extract Windows registration numbers.. some are
'alternative' virus scanners, some are harmless programs with certain code
strings marked as hostile, tho they are not

Always best to be wary tho
