We got 4 phone calls from clients yesterday who reported the same problem. These files were distributed on our most recent CD some 6 months ago and there has been no issues with them. Obviously, they are provided to us by the good folks at XFRX (www.eqeus.com).

We downloaded the 30-day free copy of Trend Micro and ran it on one of our computers and sure enough, it reported two of the XFRX dll's as infected with the trojan virus. We are going to send Trend Micro and email today.

We are also going to make them look bad to our users who are relying on this as an anti-virus software provider and now it has rendered part of our application as "broken". They definitely have egg on their face for this one!
