Re: ClamAV reporting ViEmu.dll virus off a fresh install?

Update: A scan with AVG didn't report any virus. Maybe clamwin is reporting a false positive on this machine?  Can anyone else confirm?

ClamAV version 0.96.2 started reporting
C:\Program Files\ViEmu\ViEmu.dll: Trojan.Swizzor.Gen FOUND

I went through, and purged the plugin. A rescan of the computer showed no infection. Did a fresh downloaded of the ViEmu installer, and scanned it. Again, no virus. Did a reinstall of ViEmu. ViEmu.dll again reports being infected right after install.

Yes, it is a known false positive on the part of ClamAV. I reported it to them a few months ago, but it seems they're not too quick in processing this. Sorry for the scary report, unfortunately there's nothing else I can do.

Thanks for the confirm.  Hopefully they can fix it soon.
