At least two AV vendors, Sophos and Norton, seem to be throwing
numerous false positives for the Bluetooth "virus" identified last
week, which Sophos calls "OSX/Inqtana-B". I know about Sophos from
direct experience, another admin on campus has heard about it through
another mailing list.
Some systems on campus here have had over a thousand "infected" files.
Sophos on-access scanning currently prevents a host of applications
from working, including MS Office and Adobe Acrobat.
(I've been testing Sophos here because the numbskull suits have made
a policy that "Even Macs have to run AV software" for all the
pointlessly stupid usual reasons.)

All over a "virus" that never existed in the wild, and was patched
against nearly a year ago.
