    Default False Positives in "Quick Security" and "Trojan Horse" Scan

    The Trojan Horse scan shows a lot of false positives. Since I don't know which are false pos and which might be a trojan, and I'm sure many are in the same boat, I thought I'd start a definitive thread where people can post items that show up in their scan and we can confirm which items are false positives and which aren't. If the forum admin is willing to sticky this one, it can turn the trojan scan from something that isn't very useful and a bit frustrating, back into a great help for security purposes.

    I will put here what items are appearing in my scan. If you see something in your scan that isn't in mine, reply with your item. Thank you.

    That's my list. Most if not all of these are coming from the extras I configured in apache.

    They'll be completely different on every server by the nature of what is wrong with the Trojan scanner, so there'd be no point in posting them.

    Simply put, don't use it. Instead use the other recommended tools when looking for rootkit compromises (rkhunter and chkrootkit - do a search on the forums).
