What constitutes a false alarm?
I was just wondering what you mean when you say it is a false alarm. Does it mean that you go to check for the virus in the download file? The reason I ask is because I downloaded Filezilla and installed it on a few freshly installed machines and found a trojan installer come up within the next 24 hours on all 3 machines. Filezilla was the only common denomonator, so it just makes sense that something related to the Filezilla download or install was insecure. I have norton AV and spybot on this machine, which was one of the 3.
Anyway, my question is whether or not it could be possible that the trojan installer were somehow tacked on during download from a hacker or something extremely unlikely like that.
I just ran AV scan and spybot, so I am ready to try again. Now if I get another trojan installer it must mean there is something going on and you should look into it to protect your name as well as your consumer's computers.

All files get tested for viruses before being uploaded to Sourceforge and tested for integrety afterwards. As long as you download FileZilla from http://sourceforge.net/projects/filezilla, it will not contain any malicious software.
Check came out clean
Well, this time the check came out clean, as I am sure it usually does. It seems it probably wasn't related to this download, but I really wonder how all three computers I installed Filezilla on (2 at work and one at home) got infected that one day. Oh, well. These are the mysteries of modern computing.
