False Positive for "fldmatch.dll"?

I am using FolderMatch 3.5.6 on a Windows 7 Professional box. ClamWin keeps identifying "fldmatch.dll" as a Trojan. Is that a valid find? FolderMatch will not run without that library. Because FolderMatch is a pay-for product from RegSoft, I would be surprised if they're bundling a Trojan with their offering.

Thanks in advance.

You can upload questionable files to Jotti or Virus Total, where they will scan a file with multiple AVs. If several AVs say a file is infected, you can probably believe it. Just to make sure, I like to see a couple of these AVs spot something: Avast, Bitdefender, Kaspersky, NOD 32, or Sophos.

Report false positives (and undetected viruses) to Clam AV, which you can access via the ClamWin Help menu: Help, About, Clam AV icon. When you get to the Clam AV main page, select, Submit A File. When you get to the upload form, select the False Positive catergory, and tell the exact name of the virus in the Comments section.

I apologize for the late reply. I submitted to both sites and of all the scanners used, only ClamWin thinks the file is a Trojan. So I am confident the file is all right.

Thank you for your most helpful response!
