Virus detected in 1.1 installer

Postby Reven » 19 Jul 2010 19:37

I submitted the latest 1.1 installer to VirusTotal and got two detections.

Antiy-AVL 2.0.3.7 2010.07.15 Trojan/Win32.TDSS.gen
TheHacker 6.5.2.1.320 2010.07.19 Trojan/TDSS.binb

Appears to be the same malware detected by both scanners. While I'm sure this is probably a false detection, it should be investigated.
