Hello,

the last time that happened, AVG reported a false positive on the
installer, not the FD executable itself (reason for that being that we
use NSIS for the installer which some malware/virus writers seem to use
too).

I find it doubtful that the FD itself would be infected, unless, as you
mention, a virus on this machine infected it after it was installed.

Try to reinstall the Bacula FD and see if it still complains. If it
does, contact McAfee support and have them check out the file (probably
a false positive).

Greetings,
        Michel
