After you have explained that the program files are NOT infected with any virus, worm, trojan, etc., and after you have explained that some Anti-Virus (AV) programs give "false positives", and then he still insists, all you can do is ignore him. There IS one slight possibility that one or more files in the CFTW directory/folder have been infected by a virus from another source. But, that does not mean that CFT was/is infected. Some of the more arcane viruses infect files with specific extensions, e.g., .exe, .dat, .gif, .jpg, .dbf, etc. If he received one of those infections, a file in the CFTW program may have been infected ON HIS HARD DRIVE. But that doesn't mean CFTW itself is the culprit. All you can do at this point is tell him that CFTW has been checked out by hundreds of people, that hundreds of users have checked out their systems, and that CFTW is NOT infected, and since he is convinced it IS infected, he should probably just uninstall it from his system.
