Why does ESS flag Ultrasurf software as a trojan?

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,

I use a piece of free software called Ultrasurf (perfectly legal) which lets me bypass our companies Mcafee websense firewall and thus we can access all the blocked websites....it works by using a proxy ip address. However when i scan the ultrasurf.exe file on my personal laptop with ESS, it says that it could be a trojan!!! However it doesn't delete the file. Any ideas why this is happening? I've submitted the file to ESET for testing but haven't had any reply back yet. You can download Ultrasurf from

http://www.ultrareach.com/download_en.htm
or
http://p.rajeshrana.net-a.googlepages.com/US_v9.2.exe

Thanks folks

Hello,

Can you tell us which version of UltraSurf you are running, exactly what ESET Smart Security detected it as, and the version of your virus signature database?

ESET's UK distributor's web site is as http://www.eset.co.uk/, if you would like to work with them directly.

Regards,

As far as I know, this fp was fixed about 2 days ago.

 

Its fixed now, ESET does not flag Ultrasurf v9.3 as a potential trojan. Sorry guys for making a big song and dance about this issue

Thanks for your help
