Thank you for that answer. All I could find out is that the file that
causes the alarm is named "folder.exe" (size: 82kb). I don't know for
sure what that is, but since I don't need the package I simply deleted
it. Probably it was just a coincidence that I had some trojan problems
just after zipping and unzipping that hackage torrent...

Daniel

hi,
my Avira antivirus program says that there is a trojan in the
bamse-0.9.5 package. I downloaded the hackage-torrent a week ago, and
Avira says "TR/Crypt.CFI.Gen" is in bamse. To be sure, I downloaded
bamse-0.9.5 from hackage today, and now avira says less specificly
that there are "some viruses and/or unwanted programs" inside.
.Gen usually means that the file isn't a known virus but some heuristics
triggered. This can also happen if a file is compressed with an
executable
packer that the virus scanner can't decompress, which wouldn't be strange
for an installer tool. I don't know if that's the problem in this case
but I had a lot of trouble with virus scanners in combination with
executable packers so it might be.
