cblauncher.exe reported as trojan.gen.SMH

[ajb45]

This morning, the corporate Symantec Endpoint Protection on my work laptop reported CBLauncher.exe (from the 9744 nightly) as security risk "Trojan.Gen.SMH".
It's probably a false positive since I've had CB 9744 running for a while now, and it's probably a new set of virus sig downloads that has triggered this.

I've managed to get a different launcher (from 9673) that SEP doesn't complain about, but has anyone else encountered this. Can the next nightly build have a CBLauncher that doesn't fall foul of this(?).

I'll no doubt get my collar felt by by IT security in a bit as SEP records all risks centrally at our place!
Cheers

Did You downloaded from the link from killerbot? (pointing to BerliOS which then redirects to sourceforge)

I downloaded it now and checked against ESET Smart Security (current database) and no threat detected inside the archive or during/after extraction.

Yes, all the official links used for downloading.

I downloaded a fresh copy after SEP first complained on the off chance that it had been tampered with since I'd first installed codeblocks. But SEP still complained on the fresh download...
On a different machine I checked it against Microsoft Security Essentials and MalwareBytes, and both reported no threat, so looks like an issue with SEPs latest virus signatures.

I've found a webpage where I can report it to Symantec so I'll do that
