I recently installed Hugin on a Windows XP computer, using 'HuginSetup_2013.0.0_32bit_Windows.exe'. But IOBit malware fighter recognized as 'trojan.geneeric' and quarantined the file 'huginlines.exe', from 'Program Files\hugin\bin'.
Is this actually malware, or was it a false detection? I'd be most grateful if anyone can help me.

Where did you download HuginSetup_2013.0.0_32bit_Windows.exe from?

Thank you for your reply.
I downloaded it from http://hugin.sourceforge.net/download/. I assumed this was the most reliable 'official' source. Was this not correct? I wonder if anyone else has had this happen.

I downloaded mine from the same source, which AFAIK is THE source for Hugin. My antivirus (Kaspersky) did not report anything unusual either. So I believe this is a false positive. If you want to be perfectly sure, you could check using online antivirus https://virusscan.jotti.org/ If it is indeed a false positive, Then you can report the false positive to IObit http://forums.iobit.com/

Many thanks. I checked it on antivirus:/virusscan.jotti.org/, which found no fault with it. So I think you are right. I haven't yet reported it on the IObit forum, as I haven't used the site before, and iit wasn't clear to me how I should proceed when I looked at it. I'll go back to it.
