Possible "false positives"

I downloaded clamav for my Windows XP box and scanned. Multiple games downloaded from "Nick Jnr" tested as having "WIN.Trojan.Llac-1391". I used "virustools" to confirm but they tested clear , including from "clamav". Submitting them direct to clamav returned the positive test. Anybody with similar experience ?

Most likely this is a false positive detection. Scan the file with Jotti or Virus Total and see what they say. See if other AVs besides Clam AV (our scan engine) detect any infection. I like to see at least 2 of these AVs detect something before I believe it: Avira AntiVir, Bitdefender, NOD32, Kaspersky, and Sophos. If the detection is a false positive, upload the file to Clam AV at their web site (report a file, select false positive) so they can correct their signature.
