Avira AntiVir reports a trojan in aMSN Portable 0.98.3
The trojan TR./ATRAPS.Gen is reported/found in libasyncresolver.dll by Avira AntiVir.
Report It
Please report the false positive issue to Avira. They have then fairly often. In this case, it looks like the standard false-positive leaders are all having the issue (Avira, one McAfee variant, Norton and TrendMicro, all of whom have them fairly regularly):

In the future, please double-check with another antivirus product before reporting, and then report it in the forums (not as comments on a news story well it will get lost in the shuffle). You can do this online. Details are here:

this is not really portable
this is not really portable
?
What are you saying? If you're going to say that something's not portable (when it is) please provide reasoning. Unless you do it's utterly unhelpful.
Is not portable. Try running
Is not portable. Try running in a computer with a amsn version installed and you will see that you can see profiles stored there.
The only way to make aMSN portable is to edit the amsn file and replace these lines:
if { [OnDarwin] } {
set HOME "[file join $env(HOME) Library/Application\ Support/amsn]"
} elseif { [OnUnix] } {
set HOME "[file join $env(HOME) .amsn]"
} elseif { [OnWin] } {
if {[info exists env(USERPROFILE)]} {
set HOME "[file join $env(USERPROFILE) amsn]"
} else {
set HOME "[file join [pwd] amsn_config]"
}
} else {
set HOME "[file join [pwd] amsn_config]"
}
whit this one:
set HOME "[file join [pwd] amsn_config]"
Sorry for my english
Next Release
I'll have that fixed in the next release. It is fully portable, I think that just means it will also show any local profiles, if there are any. As aMSN has a very small userbase, you'll only encounter it on your own PC at the moment, so it may not warrant a rushed revision.

Hello, sorry to comment here but I did not find where to comment on amsn 0.98.4, will actually 2 false positives? At Virustotal it still detects a while.
False Positive
It is a false positive with Trend Micro and should be reported to them. They have issues like this fairly regularly and will generally fix them within a few days of it being reported.
