[vlc] Trojan with the download

[Tony Anecito]

I have seen emails about this and this is a false positive as stated bu others who have run a full suite. I have also seen emails that appear to be the Kaspersky development group stating the same thing.

Before you go out to the world saying things about this it is good for you to do some research despite what the VLC group says. I did and the group is correct about it being a false positive from my perspective.

Regards,
