Silent Bob is a freeware sound-recording program. It is unique in that
it has a 60-second pre-buffer so that when you're feeding radio audio
through it and you suddenly decide to record somewthing, it includes
everything for the past 60-seconds so that you won't miss the
beginning of it. Their website is www.silent-bob.de/en/long.htm

Recently, a friend who uses Pest Patrol (a commercial program that
claims to identify and remove adware/spyware and the like) said that
Pest Patrol had scanned his computer and concluded that it found "Doly
Trojan 1.6" in Silent Bob. He didn't mention any details, nor did he
say how "sure" Pest Patrol was of its verdict.

Has anyone out there who has used Silent Bob ever noticed any unusual
behavior since installing it?
Has anyone's anti-virus or anti-spyware program ever flagged Silent
Bob as suspect?
Has Pest Patrol ever been known to give off false alarms?

Some AV's have false positives, especially with heuristics enabled. I'd
double check the file with Kaspersky or a trojan detector. If it's a
zipped file, make sure the antivirus can read compressed files.

Try to get software from the source or a trusted mirror site.

Some sad trivia: my company has decided to to deploy PestPatrol CE and
is in the process of doing test rollouts (I'm a test case). Coupling
that with the recent decision to deploy an outdated and broken version
of SAV CE (I believe it's been customized) and no consistent enforcement
of safe computing practices should provide my IT folks with a fun-filled
second half of the year.
