yes, I get same warning.

It's a false alarm on Avira's end, which has now been reported to them.

Until they update their database, please ignore the warning.

Well, well, well. Interesting. Not only Avira, but also Bitdefender, F-Secure and G-Data report R3 as being Trojan... Anyone else having bad feeling?

Indeed: http://www.virustotal.com/file-scan/...e72-1318302466

This was a scan of the setup file on the kvs website currently, the same scan of an older file didn't cause the same positive results. As such the evidence points to a change in the program that is causing the scans to find the trojan, as opposed to a change in the AV scanner or definitions.

Is there a problem currently with flightstats.com?

KVS tool errored and led me towards checking my flightstats login. I hadn't changed anything at my end, so I went to flightstats and tried to login to the web page and couldn't.

Got flightstats to send me a password change, which they did, but even that doesn't work. IE9 is reporting certificate errors with the page too (related???)

There is nothing particularly "interesting" about false positives; they can (and do) occur from time-to-time.

A comprehensive scan using 43 AntiVirus products further confirms that there are no issues with the actual KVS Tool executable (V6.5.1.R3):

First, make sure you are using MSIE as the FS site does have issues with certain other browsers.

If the login issue persists, please sign-up for a new FS account.

It shouldn't be.

OK, not to start a war here, and I don't believe it is infected, but pete4212 did that same scan and found the suspicious false positives. Your later scan is NOT on the same file. The MD5 hashes don't match.

pete4212 - d09953066dcff44445fc3293aebf74b6
KVS - f72a6267ad7d24431a5292ccfe028603

d09953066dcff44445fc3293aebf74b6 is the hash for the Setup package for V5.6.1.R3 (http://www.KVSTool.com/Special/False...Tool_Setup.EXE). f72a6267ad7d24431a5292ccfe028603 is the hash for the actual KVS Tool executable file, contained therein.

Please feel free to verify by downloading the above Setup package, renaming it to KVS_AvailabilityTool_Setup.ZIP and extracting the KVS_AvailabilityTool.exe file.

It is still reporting (15 October 2011) Trojan on three different engines: http://virusscan.jotti.org/en/scanre...d3aeddadbb4ce9

R3P2 is reporting the same: http://virusscan.jotti.org/en/scanre...9180d409d3a4df

As mentioned previously, 41/43 scanners have identified no issues at the time V.6.5.1.R3P2 was published, as shown at http://www.VirusTotal.com/file-scan/...9b4-1318313091

For more accurate results, you should be scanning the actual KVS Tool executable file (and not the Setup package, which contains Microsoft-provided components that are obviously virus-free, but tend to increase the level of False Positives).

Any reports of False Positives should be addressed to the creators of each specific anti-virus product so that they can make the necessary corrections.

Two things:

1) I find that KVS can be unstable when your press “Stop” mid-run? It often hangs. Particularly if during a run it has said that its “Disconnected”.

2) Why does the “Enhanced” seat map show seats that don’t exist whereas the standard seat map does not. For example on a 747 in F on BA, it shows the same as the standard seat map, but also shows seats 1E and 1F as available, but these seats don’t exist. Try BA107 LHR-DXB on any day.

After further talking with KVS owner(s), this issue has been resolved to my full satisfaction. I am happy with the agreement that KVS and I have reached.

I have submitted the sample to two AV independent experts and while I am still waiting for one of them, I am now confident that it was a false positive and that KVS installation file does not contain any malware.

Indeed, occasionally, the [Stop] button may not be able to abort the connection already in progress. This issue is caused by a bug in one of the components, provided by Microsoft, and it is unlikely that they will fix it.

This has now been confirmed to be an issue with the [Amadeus: Enhanced] Seat Map Engine -- given the amount of interpretation that is involved, engines, sometimes, get confused by complex cabin layouts, such as the one in question...

Needless to say, seats 1E/F do not exist:
