Clamwin 095.2 and 0.95.3(updated 11/14/09) both are giving false positives for worm.autorun.2190 in Vista's desktop.ini.

After getting one for User1 (account never gets used) I created User2 and scanned immediately. Got this:

C:\Users\User2\Desktop\desktop.ini: Worm.Autorun-2190 FOUND
----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
Known viruses: 649880
Engine version: 0.95.3
Scanned directories: 0
Scanned files: 1
Infected files: 1

Data scanned: 0.00 MB
Data read: 0.00 MB (ratio 0.00:1)
Time: 2.619 sec (0 m 2 s)
--------------------------------------
Completed

It's just a text file and both the dlls it references scan clean. You should fix it[size=18]

The ClamWin team can't fix false positives. Clam AV furnishes the scanning engine and signature database for ClamWin. You should upload a copy of any false positive files to Clam at https://www.clamav.net/sendvirus/ on the web. Upload the file, indicate it is a false positive, and give them the name of the virus. If will not get fixed until you do this.
