Unless AntiVir is wrong, Google Talk has a trojan in it! It's named:
TR/Spy.bombka and this is from Google itself! Anyone else see this?

If you mean the program itself, I doubt it. I just downloaded and
installed it, and Kaspersky finds nothing amiss. If there is some
file Antivir alerts on, upload it for av scanning here:

http://www.virustotal.com/flash/index_en.html

and let us know the results.

If you are talking about this program:

http://dl.google.com/googletalk/googletalk-setup.exe (876 kb)

then VirusTotal returns this:

CAT-QuickHeal TrojanDownloader.Small.cgz
UNA TrojanClicker.Win32.Small

All other AV software finds nothing.

I'm not able to unpack that file to submit any of it's sub-components
to VirusTotal.

I don't care to install the software myself.

So it's UNA which identifies TrojanClicker.Win32.Small - and _my_
Kaspersky didn't find anything, too.

It is most likely a False Positive.
