Hey,
I was downloading the new version of NDSTokyoTrim and my virus software (Avast) said it had a Trojan in it before it had finished downloading (maybe just AS it finished, I dunno). Can anyone confirm whether or not it is safe to use or not.

I'm about to go to bed and couldn't find any e-mail address on the official site, so I thought a post here would spread the word (that is, if the "word" indeed needs to be spread.

Thanks and stuff.

I would guess it's a false positive. I doubt the dude would put a virus in his file.

Yes it is a false positive like every time you've got a compressed file ... I trust Brian also.

I will update my post in a few minuts with a complete scan but i bet :

- it was done previously by a smart guy ;-)

- it is related to UPX compression

Basically it is a false positive related to Heuristic: Suspicious File With Covert Attributes

False positives do occur with some individually coded programs, I think the CycloEvo cheat program also showed up some false positives on some virus scanning programs, nothing to be too worried about.

That was indeed a false possitive, already fixed in avast after I sent them a sample.
