Yep, the best way to really know is to check it with several of the major antivirus software packages.

The Virustotal analysis for EQ2MAP's updater is here: http://www.virustotal.com/analisis/a...b9a-1255365278.

You'll note only 1 has flagged it as a virus, meaning it is likely a false positive. It's interesting to note that Comodo did not flag it there -- are your definition files up to date?

In the anti-virus world, it's better to err on the side of giving false positives than false negatives. This is especially true for AV software from smaller companies (which may not have the resources to eliminate false positives as exhaustively as larger companies).
