You should send the details to the anti-virus people.
I forwarded the info to Avast. What they do with it is up to them. Maybe they will find it is a false positive and will modify their Virus database and push out a new update later on.

Maybe it's a false positive. NOD32 didn't see anything.

Or perhaps, like me, your AV thinks everything the gov't does is Malware LOL
It could very well be a false positive, but I won't push my luck by opening it anyway. Avast works for me, but it has been accused of having false positives in the Web Monitor module when set on the "High" setting. But this is the 1st hit I have gotten in months, so I won't push my luck.

agency's infamous rose colored glasses reports (pdf)
If you try to open the fcc.gov pdf file linked at this story, it shows up as malware. It may be a false positive and again it may not. So be cautious.

I also went directly to the fcc.gov web site and tried the download there as well and got the same malware alert.

The 706 report in both word & acrobat versions is showing the problem. The Broadband R&O report is ok:
6/12/08
FCC Expands, Improves Broadband Data Collection.
Broadband Data R&O: Word | Acrobat
706 Report: Word | Acrobat
[att=1]Link to explanation of vulnerability:
»nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2007-3896

P.S. I emailed the webmaster at fcc.gov and hopefully he checks out the situation.
