virus in xmaxima.exe 5.25



I submitted  Maxima 5.28.0-2 to Virustotal and nothing was detected in the
45 scanners there. Earlier I submitted it to
http://virusscan.jotti.org and PUA.Win32.Packer.Upx-3
was detected by Clam AV. As VirusTotal also includes Clam AV and detected
nothing I would suspect a false positive and will treat it as such. Perhaps
someone with more knowledge than me might confirm this.
