Hi.

F-Secure reports our Eduroam CAT installer as Trojan.Generic.12420647.
Virustotal.com reports 10 out of 55 virus scanners doing the same.

Earlier it has been posted to this list that Symantec and ClamAV has done the
same thing. But now they apparently don't any more. Probably because someone
has posted a report on false positive to them.

What is the best way to handle this? Should each IDP report it to the
different virus scan providers as they pop up or should this be done by the
developers?

My main goal is of course to get this out of the way as soon as possible so
that my users don't get used to ignoring reports about viruses.
