WeatherPulse - it is malware?

Hi - AntiVir just detected the latest installation file for WeatherPulse as a trojan. WeatherPulse is a desktop weather program. I scanned it on VT, and to my surprise, 6 AVs detect it. But AntiVir isn't detecting anything while the program is running.

So is WeatherPulse malware? You can find it at the Tropic Designs site:

http://www.tropicdesigns.net/

 

Can you tell us what Avira detects it as?

 

AntiVir says it is the TR/Dldr.Agent.5149621 Trojan.

 

I am using it on 3 computers, and both Avast! 5 and MSE think Weather Pulse 2,2,4 build 4 and the installer are fine. Did it actually get downloaded via Tropic Designs, the Weather Pulse site? Only Authentium and F-Prot generated FPs with the executable version I am using when I sent it to Virus Total. It does install in Program Data instead of Program Files, which is a bit unusual, but I think it is avoiding possible problems from an earlier version set.

 

Yep, downloaded it from that site.

 

I'd post here asking if it's a false positive: http://forum.avira.com/wbb/index.php?page=Board&boardID=140

 

Thanks, all - I have posted at the AntiVir forums.

 

I used Weather Pulse in the past.
I will be surprised if this isn't a false positive.

 

Got an answer from Avira; it's a false positive.

 

I formerly used Avira and have used WP for years. I guess it was about 2 years ago that I reported the FP to Avira numerous times. Amazing that they still haven't taken any action.
