Apologies for posting about a thread(s) already discussed. I joined the
list as a result of this problem; but of course I should've checked the

Subject: Re: [Wireshark-users] Symantec AV false positive?
There were a couple of post on this earlier today. Seems to be a false
positive, there's a checklist at Symantec's site (Gerald posted this
link earlier:
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/trojan.zlob.html
)
Not that it means anything, but Symantec is pointing users to Wireshark
for packet captures at this page:
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/ent-security.nsf/0/edfb148ba33e3f35
88256efb006d148a?OpenDocument
The document must be fairly recently updated, as it refers to
"Wireshark, formerly Ethereal"
Neither Trend Micro's OfficeScan nor Computer Associates EZ AV detect
Wireshark as having the trojan on any of my machines at home or at work.
