MS.Reputation.1 and Kmymoney

[Chris]

Just ran the the software through virustotal

Interesting it shows 4 infections. again these are false positives

A false positive is when a antivirus detects code that it believes is code 
used by an virus.

Unfortunately because viruses share a lot of real code with real 
applications unless the antivirus vendor is very careful this shared code 
can trigger a warning in completely safe software (such as kmymoney).

In the scan linked above we have the file tested against 60 different 
antivirus products of which 4 have a false positive. if there was a real 
virus many more than 4 would be triggered.
