Bitdefender 2011 detect PNotesPortable 6.5 to be a virus : Worm.Generic.276491

Hi, I try to download last version of PNotes Portable and have the surprise for the firs time on portableapps.com to see that my antivirus software (Bitdefender Total Security 2011) detect a virus. So I'm not sure that is the case or is a fals positive. Anyoane have problems with this version 6.5 ? I will contact also the support team for Bitdefender to find out what their opinion is. Thanks.

P.S. I try again on 2 diferent computers with Bitdefender Total Security 2010 and the results are identical. Same virus detection.

False positive

PNotes is one of the most common apps we have false positive problems with. If you want confirmation that it's a false positive, try uploading the file to http://www.virustotal.com

Relieved!

Whew! I'm glad to hear that PNotesPortable is NOT a Worm or any other kind of Malware. I barely discovered PNotesPortable this weekend and now have it installed.

I use avast 5.0 and it hasn't detected PNotesPortable as any Malware.
