AVP can sometimes incorrectly detect trojans. Something to do with the
way it analyses packed files. I'd suggest informing avp via this
address:
newvirusavp.ru
I know of one program in particular, Fortify for Netscape, that is
incorrectly diagnosed as containing a Type_ win_32 trojan.

Personally, I prefer to receive the odd false alarm than no warning at
all.
Cheers,
Brad
