Unless AntiVir is wrong, Google Talk has a trojan in it! It's named:
TR/Spy.bombka and this is from Google itself! Anyone else see this?

If you are talking about this program:

http://dl.google.com/googletalk/googletalk-setup.exe (876 kb)

then VirusTotal returns this:

CAT-QuickHeal TrojanDownloader.Small.cgz
UNA TrojanClicker.Win32.Small

All other AV software finds nothing.

I'm not able to unpack that file to submit any of it's sub-components
to VirusTotal.

I don't care to install the software myself.

So it's UNA which identifies TrojanClicker.Win32.Small - and _my_
Kaspersky didn't find anything, too.

It is most likely a False Positive.

Gee let me guess - you wrote this?
 
AntiVir 6.33.0.81 02.07.2006 no virus found


As i said - mine found something and yes, it's updated...
 
It is most likely a False Positive.


That's what an IT friend of mine said...

Most likely, indeed.

I wonder why UNA has been included in the tool list of
<http://www.virustotal.com/flash/index_en.html>
though it is most difficult to get more than a trial version from the
Ucranian National Antivirus Center
<http://www.unasoft.com.ua/eng/antivirus.html>

Well, now UNA is under observation;-)
