This is a weird thing going on. I found during unistallation of a Lotus Notes client an antivirus alarm because of a Trojan Horse.M. The antivirus I use is Panda Antivirus Platinum 7. The funny thing is that the virus apparentyl cleans it, but after a few hours appears again.

The infected file is in Lotus Notes directory with name kvzee.dll.

More funny is that when I scan de original installation CD from IBM (no copy, original) the Panda says the following (with differents CDs from different versions ranging from 6.0 up to 6.5):

Virus Trojan Horse.M Inmediato 02/07/04 15:56:37 Ignorar D:\Clients\W32Intel\Data1.cab[F4470_kvzee.dll]

I have launched the question to Panda Antivirus and am waiting for an answer.

I suggest that this might be a legitimate program from Lotus Notes that might be similar in some aspects with a trojan virus, a so colled false positive alarm.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

 
If the CD's came from Lotus, then I would suspect a false positive. If the CD's were burned from a third party (legitimate or not), I would suspect a virus. In the latter case, get replacement CD's.

There's no place like 127.0.0.1.

The installation CDs are original and purchased directly to IBM (and am sure because my company had to pay a lot of money for the Lotus Domino / Notes licenses and original CDs).

That is the reason I suspect it to be a false positive as you say. Only want to corroborate my opinion. Thanks.
