Actually it is all the engines 4.0.70 and above, we'll update that shortly.
And remember it is only when you run heuristics that you'll see the false.
If users aren't running heuristics then they shouldn't see the false. If
this is not the case please let me know ASAP.

Thanks!  Great follow-through!

In the README I noticed the following:

        This EXTRA.DAT suppresses a false detection of "New
        Backdoor" in specific files. The detection could
        occur in files when scanned with 4120 DAT and 4.0.70
        engine and using program heuristic scanning mode. 

Does this mean the false positive won't occur with the current engine 
(4.1.20), just with the 4.0.70 engine?
