Strawberry 5.10.1.0 (2009/10): presumably mistaken virus detection

My Kaspersky virus detection popped up with
10/24/2010 1:33:16 PM Detected:
Worm.Win32.Qvod.chj C:\strawberry\perl\bin\a2p.exe
No other files were 'detected'. The most recent 5.12.1 strawberry
had no such detection.
I've scanned all these files long before now, so presumably this is a
newly updated detection database getting it wrong. I think I'll just
wait a few days and rescan...
(I've never much trusted any antivirus detection after the *string*
"Serv-U Daemon" caused McAfee to unconditionally *destroy* every file
containing such. Including my documents merely describing the 10+
year old Perl programs. I bet the McAfee people run backups every
hour and save the last 30 days' worth. Such quality...)
