I just installed AVG Anti Virus free edition on a Windows Vista Laptop and ran a full scan.
I installed AVG Version 9.0.686, with virus DB Version 270.14.22/2446. I copied a few of the most recent K3 Utility setup files (including the setup file for K3 Utility version 1.2.9.30) into the "Documents" folder, and I installed K3 Utility version 1.2.9.30. I then ran a full AVG scan. It reported warnings on seven tracking cookies (unrelated to K3 Utility), but no reports of a Trojan Horse, and no warnings of anything related to the K3 Utility setup or executable files. I uninstalled 1.2.9.30, and then copied the setup exe K3_Utility_Setup_1_2_9_30.exe from the Elecraft Web server and scanned that. No report of a Trojan Horse. No threats of any kind reported. I installed version 1.2.9.30 from that setup file and scanned the installed K3Util.exe. No report of a Trojan Horse. No threats of any kind reported.

I just did a full scan of my development system with Microsoft Security Essentials. That file is in my file system. No threats were found. That of course doesn't guarantee that AVG is finding something that Microsoft Security Essentials doesn't. I didn't deliberately install any Trojan horses into the K3 Utility executable. I'm using firewalls, sound practices, and a frequent anti virus scan on my development machine. I suspect this is a "false positive" from AVG. I'll install AVG on another machine to see what it says. I just this last week moved all my machines to Microsoft Security Essentials...
