abhack.exe detected as trojan?

[sinephase]

Just had AVG pop up telling me abhack.exe is a generic trojan "Trojan horse PSW.generic8.BANO". abhack is part of the version switcher linked to from the minecraft forums thread before the server was updated.
I think it might be a false positive but the thing that gets me is I just started my computer, did not run the program, and it's not set to launch with windows (if ever this process is). Also, when I looked at more information about it it showed explorer.exe was what was accessed or something.
Anybody else get an alert for that file?

Anyway, just wanted to give you guys a heads up, I sent the file from the vault to AVG for analysis and put my email in so they'll email me with the results

Interesting, damn trojans.

I downloaded the switched for the old jars before, and avg gave me no warnings when I scanned it. False positive, or you got it from someone shady who messed with it first.

False Positive. Probably because of the way it's written. Like a lot of Keygens/Cracks, which come up as false positives because they're written similar to a virus. No worries.

I'm guessing the same, just threw me off because it's been on my computer for quite a while, avg scans when I dl files, and apparently explorer.exe was accessing it at boot for no reason, idk if it would be windows indexing but I thought that was another service.

I guess it could be Windows' Search Indexer. That shit's turned off on my PC. Haha.
