My virus scanner just detected winamp as Backdoor.Win32.Bifrose.D. I know for a fact it cant be a false positive. I get the same thing for limewire. Can someone please tell me this.

It's a False Positive... Limewire is Clean too... What Virus scanner is it??

Limewire is not clean like it says it is. It comes with webp2p and i really doubt bitdefender will give out false positives. Come on.

Winamp does not contain a virus. But for some reason a few virus scanners tend to give false-positives on NSIS Installers. And there is no such thing as a 100% accurate virus scanner. There will always be false positives.

Backdoor.win32.bifrose.d (http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/pest/pest.aspx?id=453094206)

There's a reference there to one of the filenames involved being pxwma.dll

%System%\pxwma.dll is part of the Sonic Burning/Ripping Engine and is a totally legit file. Therefore, I suggest you report this to the makers of BitDefender asap :/
