"I was looking at the post-beta2 nightly of Bon Echo. I am working from an unzipped file. Today, instead of getting the 
customary incremental, the entire file of 7.1 MB was installed. I did not receive any warning when the update was completed, but 
a few minutes later I began a virus scan. almost immediately i got a notice that a PSW Generic2 Trojan was in my unzipped file, 
more precisely an xpicleanup.exe file."

Reportedly Grisoft forum posts states that it's a 'false-positive' and a fix will be available in the next update.
