After the last update, I got a hit on TreeSize.exe (which I've used for years). I downloaded the latest version of Treeseize from download.com, installed and did a manual scan on the exe. Got the same hit. I did a google search on the Trojan that was claimed (Trojan.Spy.Banker-5684), then did a search on the files and reg keys this trojan creates. Nothing was found.

Prior to this latest update, I did not get any hits on Treesize...

try to scan the alleged infected file with alternative scanners. To avoid installing additional software you may try services like https://www.virustotal.com which describe how you may submit files for scanning via email and have them scanned several anti-virus packages.

looks like your false positive has been eliminated by the recent database update. Please rescan the file and let me know if it is still reported as a vius (please include virus db info from the about box)
