Virus AlertSubmitted by radar1976 on July 12, 2008 - 1:33am
I was downloading the Portable Apps Lite and the Full version and my school Trend OfficeScan triggered a virus alert with the Virus/Malware PAK.Generic.01 and blocked the download of these files. Why is this happening with Trend OfficeScan and not other scanners? Any suggestions to doing a scan without Trend sending alert messages to my boss to insure that this 'PAK.Generic.001' is not going to trigger? SF ( categories: )

as for testing if it will flag a virus it will the trend dection engine is know to flag this maybe a suggestion to your boss/company tech support about upgrading to better AV
summary: this happens because (see referenced post) and you dont need to test if it will flag as a virus because it will
this happens
false positives are common due to the methods used to compress the apps executables if you really want to test it I would recommend http://www.virustotal.com/
Virus total
uses many virus tools and trend is amoung them and it does flag PAF as virus
