    I found reports in several Supporftforums on a False Positive associated to the detection of Downloader.Agent.awf

    It seems to be detecting the malware in files from:

    HP, MS Money, and McAfee.

    No, these files don't look like they are false positives. Quite a lot malware uses common file names for hiding in logs, this detection has been in our database since several months, there were no false reports so far, no false detection in our huge whitelist and a wrong definition that causes so many different files to be detected is almost impossible. However, I would still prefer to get a copy of at least one of the files to be 100% sure :)
