Virus found by AVG

Binary package hint: linux-backports-modules-jaunty

I have a dual boot currently, and upgraded to UbuntuStudio64 Jaunty Jackalope, Alpha5 currently trying to stabilize the use of a dual monitor configuration which worked in HardyHeron, broke on Intrepid, and is crippled in Jaunty. When I boot into Linux, I run the Recovery module to catch the latest fixes, then Continue Boot. Later, coming back into WindowsXPPro32 environment, my AVG runs it's normal full scan, and lately it has found the following:
Virus found Downloader.Obfuskated
File: scsi_transport_fc.ko
Path: H:\lib\modules\2.6.28-9-generic\kernel\drivers\scsi\scsi_transport_fc.ko
This was also present and removed by me in the 2.6.28-8-generic version, also, but keeps returning with each update.

Thanks, but that's not a virus. That is a problem with your AVG signature file, and you should speak to AVG about it. Even if it was a virus, a bug tracker would not be the place to report it as it isn't a bug.

I'm going to close this as invalid.
