AntiVir reports latest MediaCoder AE has a virus

AntiVir 8.2 reports MediaCoderAE-0.6.2.4210.exe contains the signature of a "Pakes" file dropper. It has info on two related Pakes variants (I can't post the link exactly): www dot avira dot com

I could find no evidence of these drops, but I may not have been clever enough.

AntiVir is one of the most respected Antivirus programs out there. Assuming MediaCoder is safe, it is still quite a pain having AntiVir nag me about a virus on regular occassions, and many users could be put off.

Did you download MediaCoder from here or from another website?

Probably just false positive...

(MC-AE downloaded of course from sourceforge.)
