This definitely shouldn't show up as a virus.  What anti-virus provider do you use?

I use Frontier Secure,I googled it and it had a few items but not with the same 51735 ending. It said could be a false positiive on some of the other ones.

Running F-Secure 64-bit PSB Workstation Security on Windows 7.

F-Secure is finding Gen:Variant.Graftor.51735 in both DRIVER_STATION_SETUP.EXE and LABVIEW_SETUP.EXE on the KoP NI LabVIEW for FRC DVD.

Anyone else see this?

Can anyone confirm these are false positives?

I can't install or copy the files to any of our school's computers or network drives until I can confirm a false postive directly from NI.

I am the installer developer for the FRC software and can confirm that these are false positives.  We run antivirus software on our build machine and have a protected environment, these executables are probably being flagged because they launch other applications on the media, which could be perceived as something a malicious program would do.  Please proceed with install as these are false positives and let us know if it causes you any further trouble.
