Torque 3d beta 1 exe trojan detected

McAfee detected a trojan on the Torque3d beta 1 exe.
The Artemis trojan, this is probably another false positive and it didn't detect it until I did a full system scan and it scanned the installation exe. This was the only file on my total of 3 terrabytes of junk that had any virus / trojan and McAfee doesn't show much information for this trojan / virus:

Just wanted to give a heads up that the file signature on the installation exe is identical to that virus / trojan.

As I mentioned, it wasn't until I did a full scan did it find it.

Is a false positive, as so often with Norton and McAfee in the past months.

Can also not really be an identical signature unless they actually have now started to introduce fake signatures to have "more fictive finds", otherwise my virus scanners (Nod32, Sophos) likely would find it too

Artemis is not a virus name, it's the name of one of the McAfee engines
