Probably false positive on article download.

XColorSpectrumCtrl - a non-MFC color picker control that displays a color spectrum [^] The download is flagged by Kaspersky (and possibly another AV) as containing a Trojan that wasn't detected until 3 years after the article was written = so it's probably a false positive, but can you look and remove the XColorSpecturmCtrlTest.EXE file from it?

May be legit detection then - but a trojan that escapes detection for three years but gets into a professional developer's EXE download? It's a bit too unlikely for my taste, but deleting the offending file is the best solution, just to be sure.

And the trojan was detected in 2011 according to Kaspersky.

Update: Finally I try to run the app (and not only scan it by Cortex) and that is the result:

Additional information 4:[Edit] I did not submit that until now to Paoloalto, maybe I will do it one time. Anyway Cortex gives similar alarms with my own software when I do very low level access to USB devices. I see it relaxed at the moment. [Edit1] After several logins to Paloalto they do not release it.... :confused:

All I can suggest, other than not using Kaspersky, is to submit it as a false positive to the anti-virus maker and wait. Their algorithms for matching malicious code are (understandably) weighted on false positives rather than false negatives.
