[QUOTE="Malleable, post: 1019977, member: 90907"] The VirusTotal rule of thumb, as I've read from people I deem knowledgeable, is 2 - 3 positives isn't very meaningful. More than that beware. Personally, if I see a couple of positives I check back in a week or so and often false positives are cleaned up to 1 remaining or none. Sometimes I've checked back after a day or two and seen the positives increase and keep increasing day by day. Some of the virus engines are very aggressive and the same AV names often seem to keep popping up in the 2 - 3 positives range as the initial detectors then within days sort out their false positives.
