Re: Banload trojan detection
Thank you very much for reporting this issue.
I already know this problem, it is a false alarm, affecting these files since they originally published (2007).
Personally we verify our systems with 3 different anti-virus software and software catalogues
confirmed that Hard Disk Sentinel is free from any form of trojans/viruses/spyware/etc.
Please check http://www.hdsentinel.com/awards.php - there are different
"safe to install", "clean" awards we received for the software.
I already contacted major antivirus software companies and they all fixed this issue in the next
release of their antivirus signature database. It seems there are still some antivirus software
which did not do this yet.
Please try to update your virus definitions to the latest one, hopefully the issue will be fixed by then.
Otherwise, please report them the false alarm (or maybe send the files to them
for analysing). This way they can verify and fix the problem in the next virus definition update.
Thanks for the information again and sorry for the troubles.

Re: Banload trojan detection
It would be best to upgrade to the latest OS version. This might prevent this problem from entering your system. Great post!
