I know you probably think you are being helpful posting these incorrect virus detection reports when folk post URLs to various pieces of interesting software, but it woud be much more helpful were to point out the silly errors in these "detections" rather than just posting the reported malware names. For example, the other day you told us that Kaspersky AV detected "TrojanDropper.Win32.Delf.bw" in a file adjacent to one under discussion, when in fact, that file is the toolkit used to build a particular kind of dropped. And now you tell us that some unnamed scanner (but to the expert eye also almost certainly KAV again) has detected a Mimail dropper in a file that certainly is not a Mimail dropper. Don't you see how the more detailed versions of these stories are likely more informative and helpful to the less virus-expert among F-D's readers?
