OT: WebRat 0.5.3 triggers virus checker

[byrnejb]

I run a cygwin environment on my laptop (MS-WinXPpro) for development
whilst away from my office. After a bunch of gem updates last week I
ran a full system scan. This is what popped up.

[Found trojan proxy] <W32/Proxy.BZL (exact, not disinfectable)> C:
\cygwin\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\cache\webrat-0.5.3.gem->data.tar.gz->
(packed)->vendor/selenium-server.jar->hudsuckr/hudsuckr.exe

[Contains infected objects] C:\cygwin\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\cache
\webrat-0.5.3.gem
[Quarantined] C:\cygwin\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\cache\webrat-0.5.3.gem-
>metadata.gz->(packed)

[Found trojan proxy] <W32/Proxy.BZL (exact, not disinfectable)> C:
\cygwin\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\webrat-0.5.3\vendor\selenium-server.jar-
>hudsuckr/hudsuckr.exe
[Contains infected objects] C:\cygwin\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems
\webrat-0.5.3\vendor\selenium-server.jar

Is this a false positive or do I have a problem here?

Sincerely,

This is really not the best place to ask about problems with selenium
(which obviously is the culprit - reading your error message:
selenium-server.jar->hudsuckr/hudsuckr.exe).

A quick google search for selenium hudsuckr gave me this:

Webrat packages a version of selenium-server with it. So even if you
aren't using it you have it.
