19 clean, 1 positive !!
What are the chances of this being a false Positive? Is it posssible or
even likely given the 19 who declared it clean?
Thanks.

Only one way to find out for sure. Submit the file to CPsecure for
analysis. They use their own scan engine plus Kaspersky's, so
apparently it's their own scan engine that's probably false
alerting.

For the group's info.
File 'Default.SFX' a standard file in the WinRar
application's distribution generates a false
positive with CPsecure. Fixed as of 2008-07-29.
