    I downloaded the above apps on Oct 7th, and just today (Oct 11) ran an indepth scan with A2 Anti-Virus and both of these apps registered as positive
    hits: one contained a dropper and the other had Delf (Delfin)... I wish I had saved the scan report or at least written the exact info down somewhere.
    Luckily, I didn't install the downloads. Has anyone else experienced this? Could
    it be a false positive????

    THANX!

    I see the same results when using the current A2 with updates to scan the install files. However I seriously doubt these files which have not been updated/changed for almost 5 years are infected. This is much more likely to be a false detection. I even installed the programs an none my scanners (including A2) have a problem with the actual installed applications.

    I also scanned the files with 26 online scanners. Only 5 detected something, but I still believe they are false. If it were really infected, the majority of them would detect something. Here are the results for mt3setup.exe for Memory-Trax 3.5:
