I don't see the linkage between the report here, and the suspicion
that it's a false-positive. Can you expound on that?

While it's always *possible* that any virus detection is a false-
positive signature match, is there some evidence of that in this case?

The sites http://www.gordano.com/kb.htm?q=2844 and http://
www.softwaretipsandtricks.com/virus/page429 show as google hits on
"lovegate.cj", but the live pages make no reference to it. Could
this be something that was once suspected but determined to be non-
viral?
