[Elecraft] Trojan horse warning

I've seen one other report of this.

I just did a full scan of my development system with Microsoft Security
Essentials.  That file is in my file system. No threats were found.

That of course doesn't guarantee that AVG is finding something that
Microsoft Security Essentials doesn't.

I didn't deliberately install any Trojan horses into the K3 Utility
executable.

I'm using firewalls, sound practices, and a frequent anti virus scan on my
development machine. 

I suspect this is a "false positive" from AVG. 

I'll install AVG on another machine to see what it says. I just this last
week moved all my machines to Microsoft Security Essentials...

I just downloaded the K3 utility 1.2.9.30 from
http://www.elecraft.com/K3/k3_software.htm#k3util.
Now AVG displays a warning: Accessed file is infected. Trojan horse
PSW.Banker5.ZOY

Anybody else notice this?
