Internet poker client issue

Hi all,

Today I tried to log on to a poker client that I haven't used in about a year. As expected, there were updates to install. Upon installation, my anti-virus (FPROT Antivirus) detected the following malicious file: W32/Troj_Obfusc.0.gen!Eldorado.

Googling that throws up whole families of trojans. I've been emailing their support and they just say that the software is virus free and that my ant-virus is incorrectly identifying it as malicious.

Now, I know that these clients actually do contain a certain measure of spyware but surely this is a bit far? Is it possible that FPROT has just made a "mistake"?

Thanks

more than likely a mistake by your AV, tends to happen with poker software
