dualdesk virus

We use clamav and it thinks that dualdesk.exe has a Trojan. Anybody else experiencing this?

I could submit that exe to a website that runs it through multiple antivirus engines and gives a summary report. I'm not surprised that it would be classified as a Trojan. Can you imagine the consequences if a bad guy installed DualDesk and took control of your computer without you knowing about it? Remote control software is frequently used in this manner. But the exe that you are installing is hard coded to only connect to our office. So nobody is going to be able to control your computer except us, and it's almost always automatically uninstalled at the end of the session.

I felt the same way. ClamAV is also opensource. Is it possible to submit the file to them so their virus signature is updated?
