7-Zip: false virus detection???

Hi,

I'm running Free version of AVG and when I loaded my flash drive with 7-ZipPortable. It detected 7-zipportable.exe as trojan horse downloader.zlob.djw. Is this a false detection or should I be worry?

Thanks

Once again

Please search first. It's also pinned right at the top of the general forum.

AVG screwed up bigtime and detected a trojan in every NSIS-based app. All portable apps. Most open source installers (AbiWord, Gaim, etc). Many commercial installers (Winamp, etc).

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

You're right. It's a false detection. I ran AVG updates and everything is fine now. Thanks for the reply.
