    So if you say that file is junk, then why is AVIRA assigning a high priority to it? I mean, detecting junk is understandable, but AVIRA named it a "high risk threat". I wonder why this should be. Maybe someone from Avira can comment?

    Speak plainly please. If you've got something to say, say it. At least Firecat doesn't beat around the bush and his question is good.

    Maybe they detect also something else under the same name. However, this trojan simulator for testing PDM is not a real trojan and thus it will not be detected by us.

    Either that, or maybe you got hold of the wrong sample since it could very well be different from what Carver submitted and still be detected by Avira using the same name (due to maybe incorrect signature or something). ;)

    I made sure the sample I checked was detected by Antivir under that name by having it scanned at VT. I didn't find any other suchlike sample submitted to us.
