Anti Virus software is such a load of crap.
The whole concept of fingerprints is just totally bogus. No, there is no 
virus in the binaries. They are built from source without a single 
component that isn't built from scratch. On a Linux box.

Please have the person reporting this submit a false positive report to 
their vendor of choice.

I believe this has already been done for avast, apparently needs to be done 
for fsecure as well.
