Newbie to ClamWin fora; not sure where to post this but the foci of the other fora are tighter than this one . . .
Just upgraded to V0.96.0.1. On successful completion, window generated by Search & Destroy declaring that WCLOSE.EXE (in C:\Programs Files\ClamWin\bin) as being "a process that is listed as part of a malicious software". Identified as "Win32.ZBot"
The option presented was to delete the file (which I accepted but I can recover it). Anyone come across this one before ?

WCLOSE.exe have not changed since 2004 Smile
It would be great if you could submit it to Spybot as False Positive
Here is the VirusTotal report of WClose.exe from 0.96.0.1

My WClose.exe file is 49152 bytes in size, and it has an MD5 hash of 0f9dfa33988709438c1258a1da569b37. 0/19 of the available AVs on Jotti recoginze the file as infected. Report this to the Spybot S&D people as a false positive.
