Flock has a trojan inside (NOT)

I don’t know much about virus and trojan, but please, all take precautions, because today as I installed Flock I got the following message from AntiVir guard:

C:\PROGRAM FILES\FLOCK\UNINST.EXE

Is the Trojan horse TR/Dldr.IstBar.LU

I hope it is nothing serious and I am really admiring the work of the Flock guys. So I suppose it will be fixed soon. In the meantime use maximum protection and update your antivirus if you want to use Flock.

ADDENDUM: I updated the antivirus file, then left it in the night to check for the whole system. It found no virus inside of any kind. In the morning I reinstalled flock after a couple of comments from people (in the comments section) who tested it with other antivirus files and found no trace of Trojan. So I would say that it was probably a false positive. I really hope so, since I am going try it myself. Sorry for the unnecessary allarmistic post.
