mainbase.o trojan ???
lazarus / 1-Linux

I have Lazarus installed on a system running Fedora C4. Lazarus and
FPC run fine but there is one strange thing. I installed the free AVG
antivirus software and it reports that the file mainbase.o contains a
trojan called PWS.Banker (I think). I uninstalled Lazarus and re-
installed it and the problem remained.

I doubt the trojan is really present. Anyone know about this?

Maybe you should send a message to AVG so they can improve their virus
detection and stop giving this false alarm.

Yes, I will if it turns out to be false. I was hoping someone here
could answer that for me. I am not an ace with Linux so I don't want
to jump to conclusions about Lazarus or AVG.

Which Lazarus version? Without, it's difficult to check.
Also, you could tree ClamAV, that's free and available for Linux, too

When I re-installed I used version 0.9.16 beta.

Thanks, I'll look at ClamAV
