Spurious(?) virus warning from f-secure


"Suspicious Win32 PE, perhaps a new virus!"

(PE EXE files = portable executables)

Pressing "Web Club" within the virus alert launches IE on this link:

http://cgi.f-secure.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=Suspicious+Win32+PE%2C+perhaps+
a+new+virus%21&wf=F4211&wm=wrd&cmd=Search%21

This might be more relevant though:

 The file that it is all about:

$ ls -l /bin/ncurses-test-dll/ncurses.exe
... 74752 Mar  9 22:00 /bin/ncurses-test-dll/ncurses.exe*

$ md5sum /bin/ncurses-test-dll/ncurses.exe
25bffd324f64e34364ef0c47f275a538 */bin/ncurses-test-dll/ncurses.exe

$ strings /bin/ncurses-test-dll/ncurses.exe
< output indicates some kind of TEST software for ncurses(?) >

 Can somebody verify the md5sum above?  $ md5sum -b <filename>
 Anobody else get a virus warning on it?
