 FP with Trojan Hunter?

I just finished updating AVG Free, defs from 8/24/07, and Trojan Hunter, defs from 8/25/07, and while AVG comes up clean Trojan Hunter flags this: Found trojan file: C:\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG Free\avgmvfl.dll (Generic.LdPinch.A)

Anyone else seeing this and is it a FP?

This is almost certainly a false positive. Could you email the file to support@misec.net for analysis?

Thanks, file received and analyzed. This is indeed a false positive and I've uploaded corrected signatures. Run LiveUpdate and this file should no longer be detected on your next scan.

Mind you.... the files listed above have always been on this machine and have never been flagged before.

Ah... this has to do with support for scanning 64-bit executables that was recently added. The scanner doesn't recognize the machine type flag in the files listed above and throws an error. Of course, that shouldn't be happening so I will fix this ASAP.

If anyone is interested in the technical explanation, the files that give this error are files with machine type IMAGE_FILE_MACHINE_IA64, which is the Itanium architecture. This is separate from the x64 (AMD-64) architecture which is just the regular 64-bit format, which is why it was omitted.

Thanks Sammy for reporting this! I will upload a corrected version to the servers in the next 30 minutes.
