AntiVir Catches GVO

It's October 31st, it's Halloween! Even though Microsoft warned people of zombies, I didn't encounter any. Instead I only managed to catch a trojan horse.

TR/Drop.Delf.fz.1.A - Trojan

AntiVir flagged my bit torrent download of the GVO installer for containing the trojan horse Drop.Delf.fz.1.A. For the record, I didn't go all suspicios and panic... because I've a hunch it's only a false positive.

My reasoning for AntiVir's decision: the download file is a huge compressed file of the actual installer, which in itself is of several other compressed files. No wonder. Antivirus programs are always suspicios of multi-compressed files.

So actually I caught no trojan horses. Maybe I should watch out for a zombie instead.

p/s Even though the installer is an exe, you need to manually extract it and run the actual setup.exe.
