cachex being flagged as virus.

[m4rk]

Hi I am just looking for some reassurance before I run cachex because my trend micro officescan is flagging cachex as Cryp_Yodap virus !

Files were download from this dbpoweramp guide:

http://www.dbpoweramp.com/cd-ripper-setup-guide.htm >>>> http://club.myce.com/f61/cache-explorer-184487/ >>>> http://download.cdfreaks.com/download/155

Here is what the virus scanner tells me about this file:

Re: cachex being flagged as virus.

There are a few online scanners where you upload the file, try with other virus checkers.

Note the comment at the end about it being found in dbpowerAMP directories

Anything to worry about ?

Re: cachex being flagged as virus.

The main scanners - Microsoft, F-Secure, Kaspersky do not flag as a virus.

I think that cachex is simply a packed exe to reduce its size, this leads to many false positives.
