4.1.4 virus warning - False positive?

On Forum today was posted the following from a user

> My G-data (my Antivirus software) has reported as follows::

> Junkware (PUP): Win32.Adware.Narn.D (Engine B)
> Datei: Updater.exe
> Verzeichnis: C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\OpenOffice Updater

This is most likely a "false positive" and I have so advised the poster, but I bring it to the developers' attention just in case.

Thanks Rory,

This directory is *not* created by our official build but by a
repackaged installation from openoffice.de.

We already had some users reporting virus warnings (Kaspersky) when
installing this "false" package.
