Hi malware fighters,

As part of an extended malware routines and as non-resident scanner routines I use DrWeb's CureIt scanner, it is a free service, and no scanner scans for the full range of malware. That is why I use it additionally.
It is a known fact that DrWeb has heuristics on board, and that this  is also a weak point, because it finds up FP's.
So the last version of CureIt took tmrubotted for aIRC trojans  downloader.
Trend Micro RU Botted is a free beta botscanner and no malware as such. This is definitely a False Positive, I have RU Botted running for a couple of weeks now and found no problems with it,
