Virus Hit

I suspect this might be a false positive, but I’m getting a virus hit on the file stored at http://downloads.sourceforge.net/wxpython/wxPython2.8-win32-ansi-2.8.9.1-py25.exe

Details follow…

Scanner: CA Security Center

Updated: Today (sig. 6208)

Alert: 11/13/2008 13:14:02 PM File infection: C:\Documents and Settings\Gre7g Luterman\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\90W7P9S1\wxPython2.8-win32-ansi-2.8.9.1-py25[1].exe is Win32/FakeAlert.MP trojan.

Could someone please check this? I want to know whether my scanner is suspect or this file is.

Note: Had a buddy scan this file and he found no hit on McAfee.

I just checked with AntiVir Personal Edition Classic with the latest signatures and get no hit.

Just did a scan with AVG 8 and latest virus signatures and it is reported as clean.
