Hi all,

as I exchange quite a few files with PC users I thought I give ClamXav a try on ma Mac. Unsurprisingly it flagged a few PC files that were send to me as infected, however it also flagged two files in the REALbasic framework:

/Applications/REALbasic 2007 Release 3/REALbasic 2007 Release
3.app/Contents/Resources/Frameworks/X86RunHoudini.exe: Trojan.Dropper-12634
FOUND
/Applications/REALbasic 2008 Release 1/REALbasic 2008 Release
1.app/Contents/Resources/Frameworks/X86HoudiniConsole.exe:
Trojan.Agent-40367 FOUND

Are these false positives or real? I use Parallels Desktop from time to time but I find it hard to believe that that could lead to an infection of my Mac
files ...

Well, if you share your Mac hard disk with the host OS, why would you expect an eventual virus to not infect it?
I'd warn you against sharing anything but a small folder with Parallels.

I admit I don't know what are these X86RunHoudini files (a name that does not seem reliable to me, by the way).
