Vista Codec Pack - False Positive?

[Omega X]

Up until now, I've never got an alert from Vista Codec Pack.

Now the scanner is reporting that VistaUser.exe component has been identified as Win32:Malware-gen from VPS 091011-0, 10/11/2009.

The path is: C:\Program Files\VistaCodecPack\Tools\VistaUser.exe.


The creator of VCP says that Virus Scanners mistake his binaries as Malware because of the AutoIt Programming Language. Should I report this as a false positive?

EDIT: VirusTotal reports 3/40.

Avast    4.8.1351.0    2009.10.11    Win32:Malware-gen

Should I report this as a false positive?

Yes.

Avast    4.8.1351.0    2009.10.11    Win32:Malware-gen
eSafe    7.0.17.0    2009.10.08    Suspicious File
GData    19            2009.10.11    Win32:Malware-gen

GData uses the same engine & virus definitions of avast, so the detection is the same.
Seems indeed a false positive. Hope they correct it soon.
