As can often be the case, this may simply be a "false positive." Make sure you're not jumping to false conclusions.
I might suggest you:
1) make sure your definition files are always up to date before scanning
2) simply try an online scanner, one that scans a particular uploaded file using multiple AV programs. I might suggest something like: http://www.virustotal.com or http://www.virscan.org or http://virusscan.jotti.org/
Give, please, more information about:
1) Your antiviruses' versions and their databases;
2) The exact text of the warnings they show;
3) The exact name and the exact location of the file they declare dangerous.
May the FOSS be with you!
My antivirus portable is ClamWin and the version of databases is 17/06/08, my other antivirus is PC Tools Internet Security an d the databases is 16/06/08.
This is the problem detect for the both antivirus:
D:\ProtableApps\PortableApps\OpenOfficePortableTest\App\OpenOffice.org\Basis 3.0\program\scmi.dll: Trojan.Hupigon-9851 FOUND
Is not my intention to damage the reputation, because I am user of you, I just want to report something I think should be fixed.
My name is Raul Hernandez, i'm from venezuela.
Sorry for my english, but is not good.
This is most likely a false positive. The compression techniques used to make the PortableApps.com applications smaller will sometimes be detected as malicious, but they are not.
I recommend uploading the file to VirusTotal and report back how many scanners detected the file as being a virus.
The developer formerly known as ZGitRDun8705
I had this same problem so I uploaded the file to VirusTotal like you suggested. Three programs registered it as a virus: ClamAV, eSafe and Sunbelt. The summary is here: http://www.virustotal.com/analisis/8a3c8b2c50fb95a065efa8e57bd3e0dc
Here is ClamWin Portable's report:

I would say it's a false positive. I moved the file back to it's proper directory.
