For what it's worth, I found the same item in the same location/file yesterday early PM (CST).
I'm curious whether it was in fact a false positive. I deleted the affected file. Peter B. ----- |

Like I said, it seem like a false positive to me because no other virus scanners can detect anything.
https://virscan.org/report/c20b4a9d18ce66f15cf45d3c558728d9.html If another virus scanner can detect it, I would delete it straight away without any doubt. I just do not want to screw up my system by deleting every single "suspicious" file. |

In most cases, if up to four scanners find an infection, it could be a false positive. If five or more scanners find something, it's probably a real infection.
For the final word on a file, here's a free site from PC Tools' ThreatFire group that provides an excellent analysis: https://www.threatexpert.com/ on the web. It's better than running the software in your own virtual machine to see what a file does. Sunbelt Software has a similar service. Regards, |

Clamwin developers have fixed the problem.
