Hey everyone,
As many of you may have seen when you recently updated your virus scanner, many PortableApps.com launchers are being incorrectly identified as having the Trojan.Win32.Pakes.lth trojan. This is known as a "false positive", meaning that the virus has been falsely identified as a virus. This is currently being identified in all virus scanners which use the Kaspersky definition. If there are others, please leave a comment.
The software is known not to be infected and no action should be taken against the files identified. This should be fixed in your next round of virus scanner updates. If it is not, please let us know in this forum topic. Do not create a new forum topic.
We always recommend scanning with at least two virus scanners to protect against false positives like these.
Thanks,
Ryan.
