IRC-Deport virus in aquamark (Mcafee)

Guest

Ok,

I'm using Mcafee corperate v4.5.1. sp1 on winxp pro. It just updated intself
with virus def 4.0.4342 (24 march), scan engine is 4.3.20.

Suddenly system scan warned me for "IRC-Deport" in Aquamark. I haven't used
aquamark for ages, so I wonder why systemscan scans aquamark.exe anyway. But
I also don't understand why can't find anything on the mcafee database about
this virus and nowhere on the web?

Any1 got a clue?

Ok, this morning a new virus was added on the database
http://us.mcafee.com/virusInfo/default.asp?id=description&virus_k=101134
It says the 4.3.20 gives a false positive on the virus,
" The 4342 DAT files contain an incorrect identification of IRC-Deport.
This will be corrected in the 4343 DAT files, which will be released
shortly. "
It talks about DAP.exe as the trigger, but I presumme aquamark.exe does the
same. Still wonder why systemscan got it anyway... ?
