   Pdox runtime 9 trojan (not)

   From: nono@*.com   
      
   Some of my customers have lately been reporting to me that a file I've been   
   distributing with a paradox program is infected with a trojan.   
      
   Obviously I tested their setup and it turns out it is a file in the paradox   
   9 runtime that is flagged as a trojan. The file 'AXDISTEX.EXE'  is reported   
   as being infected with TROJ_CIH.DAM by the latest definitions in Trend Micro   
   Office Scan Version7. As the file was last changed 11/2-1998 and not found   
   by any other the other 3 antivirus programs I tested with I considered this   
   a 100% false positive and submitted it to the Trend Micro lab to have it   
   cleared in their next update.   
      
   However the exe file does not execute properly (dunno if it requires params   
   to work or it really is broken) so the response from Trend Micro after   
   having analyzed it is that they consider it not normal and quote "acting   
   suspicious". From the fileinfo I can see that the original borland filename   
   is regarc.exe suggesting that it's used to do registry functions but since   
   it won't run I haven't been able to monitor what it is doing with   
   file/regmon.   
      
   Has anyone else run into this or a similar situation and can suggest what to   
   do? I dont have access to a newer version of the runtime so if anyone could   
   check if this file is in the newer versions as well I'd appreciate it..
