Description

On the virus scanning aggregation site virustotal, the Toolkit (v1.23.1.0) is being reported by some of the detection engines:

Jiangmin: Trojan.Generic.cbpgf
MaxSecure: Trojan.Malware.300983.susgen

Many of the detection engines are not reporting an issue. This appears to be a false positive, however we are investigating this further.
