I have had ZoneAlarm anti-virus on two computers (running the same version
of ZoneAlarm) report the 'Trojan-Dropper.Win32.Dapato.bpkq' virus in the
'emacsclient.exe' from a emacs-24.1-bin-i386.zip freshly downloaded from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-24.1-bin-i386.zip

Regards,


Tony Graham.

Anti-virus are crap that waste everybody's time and resources.
Do yourself a favor and throw it away.

We have had quite a few false positives in recent months. I would 
recommend reporting this to the ZoneAlarm folks.
