[QUOTE="shmu26, post: 820669, member: 37647"] By the way, a detection rate of 1 on Virus Total is very low. It is probably clean, this is called a "False Positive". Not sure if I understood your post correctly, but a detection rate of 1 or 2 or 3 on Virus Total is not something to worry about. This assumes that 5 days to a week have passed since the file was first detected. You can check the details on VT to get the date for first detection. Usually it is the lesser-known AV engines that have these FPs. [/QUOTE]
