           Summary: Norton AV reporting a trojan in the 0.99.1pre1 Windows
                    installer
           Product: Wireshark
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Medium
         Component: Wireshark
        AssignedTo: wireshark-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: gerald@xxxxxxxxxxxxx


Yesterday Norton Antivirus started reporting that the 0.99.1pre1 Windows
installer (wireshark-setup-0.99.1pre1.exe) contained Trojan.Zlob.  The trojan
is described here:

http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/trojan.zlob.html

The machine used to build the installer doesn't have any of the executables or
registry keys listed in Symantec's description.  So far it looks like a false
positive.

I've contacted Symatec's tech support twice so far.  Both times they
recommended that I run a full system scan to remove the trojan.  ?!
