udpflood.exe detected as Win32:Trojan-gen.{VC} ???

Viruses and worms

Hi,

I am a Security Engineer and in my vulnerability testing toolkit I have the udpflood.exe utility created by Foundstone.

I just starting using Avast! tonight (longtime Norton AV user) and during my first scan it detected that udpflood.exe has Win32:Trojan-gen. {VC}. Is this a false positive perhaps? I downloaded this file direct from Foundstone recently so I very much doubt it is infected…

Thoughts?

Thanks,

TigeMac

Interesting…just downloaded a fresh copy from Foundstone and when I extracted it I got the same warning…

I definitely think this is a false positive…If someone else wants to try it:
