avast...ZipGenius... false positive???
« on: April 25, 2006, 07:15:58 AM »
avast 4.7 says 'cz2stub.exe',  in, C:\Program Files\ZipGenius\czstub.exe is a: [Malware:Win32:Delf-AAB[Trj].

I was wondering if this was a false positive. avast! identifies the above as a virus/trojan. This file is part of ZipGenius. Karpesky and CA eTrust online scans do not find anything. (declare pc clean). I have submitted the file at Virustotal for checking, it is not a virus according to that scan.

Has anyone of you guys encountered this? Thanks. Here is a screenshot:
