    Hi GOTD, I recently had a antispyware program tell me that there is a trojan in Sticky Password. The antivirus program is ClamAV. The threat is called "Downloader.Adload-130 (Trojan detected by ClamAV). The particular file named is spportablerun in folder C:\Program Files\Sticky Password

    Could this be a false positive, or could it have attached itself after the program was installed?
    Could someone look into this and get back to me. Thank you.

    By the way, I'm running Win XP, Media Center Edition on a compaq Presario with a AMD 64 chip.

    larryc28, I don't have that same file as I am running the registered/retail version 3.2.0.10 beta, and not the earlier GOTD version.

    However submit the file to http://virusscan.jotti.org/ which automatically tests the file using other antivirus products - this should give you a more or less immediate "second, third and fourth opinion".

    ClamAV (or ClamWin as it is called on the windows platform) isn't regarded nearly as highly as many other antivirus products.

    Visit http://www.av-comparatives.org/ and in particular look at the "Comparatives" section for the document "Test of other Anti-Virus products" from February 2007.

    ClamWin had overall detection rates of only 53% and scored third last in the tested "second tier" AntiVirus products.
