Trojan Generic7 FSV

Hello Group
I downloaded babylon translation software and when I extracted the
software my antivirus gave a warning that there i s a threat which is
a generic trojan7 .FSV.
Would somebody enlighten me what is all about and how come a patch for
a certain software is recognized as a malware?
Is it not a false positive or its pretty common that some legitimate
softwares are virus laden?
Thanks in advance for your input!
Roy

If you got it from a reputable source, the detection is almost certainly a false positive. Best to check
with the source and by submitting it to a couple of AV vendors for full checking, though.

If you got it from a torrent site or a warez site, it's quite likely infected. We had a student a couple
of weeks back very proud of avoiding paying for an antivirus program, until it turned out to be
carrying a virus itself...
