Here's the line from the report:
Code:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\SOUNDMAN.EXE: Trojan.Downloader-24394 FOUND


Looks like a false positive to me. Can anybody confirm?

Many thanks.

if no other av detect them as virus

submit it to this form:

I am getting a false positive detection for this file as well. It is part of our sound drivers that we use that are included in our PC ghost file (this is a controlled image with NO viruses). We use ClamWin as part of our production process and need this issue cleared up ASAP. The creation data for this file is June 17, 2006, and it is reported as: C:\Windows\Soundman.exe: Trojan.Downloader-91280. Please remove this from your virus database!

The ClamWin database and scanning engine are from Clam AV. You should report all false positives (and undetected viruses) to Clam AV at https://www.clamav.net/lang/en/sendvirus/ on the web. When you get to the upload page, insert the name of the falsely-detected virus and make appropriate comments in the Comments section--such as links to online scans at VirusTotal or Jotti.
