clamav reports ClamWinPortable.exe as Trojan.Agent-65355

ClaimWin also labeled a Portable Apps installer as a virus for me. It is an original file that couldn't possibly be infected.

C:\Documents and Settings\*USER*\My Documents\Downloads\PortableApps.com_Suite_Light_Setup_1.1.exe: Trojan.Agent-65355 FOUND

After it alerted me that the installer was a virus, I extracted the contents into a folder on my desktop and did a scan on that just to see what happened and here is what I got:

Quite strange, but somebody may want to get in touch with the ClamWin guys, if I were just an end user that didn't know any better that might scare me away from Portable Apps for good.

*EDIT*
I used the full installable version of ClamWin not the portable one to do this scan, although I do not think it would make a difference.

It seems to be a false positive. I uploaded clamwinportable.exe to virustotal.com and only clamav reports it as being infected.

just redownloaded clamav with latest update - both the portable and the main version find all the portable apps exe files as TROJAN.Agent.65355 , but no other antivirus does.
most annoying since it disinfected all my portable apps!!!!

I submitted this to the ClamAV team and it has been fixed in the daily definitions update.

I just installed ClamWin on a USB and scanned its folder with Bitdefender.

No viruses found. Will retry after ClamWin updates.
