False positive

Hello!

I tried to download this file:
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/produkey.zip

But Astaro refuses the download because it's virus infected.
Report: SPR/PSW.ProductKey.bv.3

But this file isn't. I downloaded it on another line and scanned it with Avira. It's virus-free.

I thougt that Astaro is using also the Avira engine, but why you find a virus and Avira doesn't?

    Our Astaro uses Avira and ClamAV, but I scanned it only with Avira Professional.

    At your mentioned website virscan.org this file is recognized by Ikarus, Kaspersky and NOD32.

    not-a-virus[[:P]]SWTool.Win32.ProductKey.bv
    a variant of Win32/PSWTool.ProductKey application

    According to virscan.org it's not recognized by AntiVir and ClamAV. I don't understand why it is recognized by the Astaro, that uses this two engines.

    I think it is just blocked by some scanners because it's reporting the product key of some programs and therefore it's considered as a hacking tool.
