Trojan after update?

A few day ago, I was prompted to update Pokertracker 4 to version 4.10.7.

My antivirus software just finished a scan on my pc, and detected a trojan called TR/Crypt.TPM.Gen in the Pokertracker 4 directory and in the installer of the latest version.

Is there a problem or was this most likely just a false alarm?

I found this on the PT forum:

This may or may not apply to you -- I can't tell from here.

It might be prudent to open a ticket w/ PT's support team.

Best of luck,

I just noticed someone in our German community had the same problem.

I also found a relevant thread in the pokertracker.com forum.

In both cases it's the same file (partycommunicator.pt4) that's affected, and they're using the same antivirus software as me.
It seems like this is a false positive on part of the antivirus program, so no worries.

I'll still keep the files in quarantine, since I don't really need them anyway. As far as I can tell, Pokertracker 4 still works fine.
