Some AV's see some hand history logger programs as Trojan Virus's

Send it to the av website for analysis - they will tell you if it is a virus or not

To be honest I would probably be more worried if they told me it was possible.

What AV do you use?
What trojan is it saying it's finding?
Have you tried an online scanner to double check the result?

False positives aren't that uncommon in AV terms, just today I read that McAfee recently released an update that detected a hole host of software as viruses (apparently there is a 7 page list including things like excel and acrobat reader).

Link: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/03/14/mcafee_av_false_positive/

In the past Ladbrokes was detected by spyware programs I ran, I found this was because a different casino that used the same software (microgaming) had some dubious promotional methods and Ladbrokes was flagged as it's software was similar.

Microgaming used to show up as 'malware' on my Adware tracker...

Norton doesn't like gaming software very much Smiley
