False positive, probably based on the fact that it's a network scanner
(no surprises there then), or possibly that it's been used in a malware
kit. I often check suspect files at
http://www.virustotal.com/ to see
what a load of different AV tools think, rather than relying on a
single free scanner.

Scored one hit as malware on virustotal, compared to five for ipscan,
but I really don't think there's cause for concern with either of them.
