AVG finds a Trojan horse in the PT8 installer

Question

AVG just found a Trojan horse in a PT8 installer on my machine:

I don’t imagine I need that installer in \ProgramData\Package Cache, but it’s a bit disconcerting. I recently had a similar problem with a program I wrote, and asked on StackOverflow, eventually submitting the file in question to AVG, and they have now fixed their virus definitions. You can read the details here:

I thought I would bring this to your attention, in case anything needs to be done about it.
