I don't what this had to do with namebench.  If F-Secure Ani Virus wants to 
list 
namebench as a virus there is nothing the developers of namebench can do about 
that.

Does F-Secure happen to flag the new 1.2 RC builds as a virus?

Hi Helixblue,
Hmmmm, much better, 1.2 RC2 causes "Deepguard blocked as suspicious program". 
This 
can be overcome by "Allowing" the program (which it could not be when it was 
treated 
as malicious). Program then runs normally.
Many thanks
Stan

Deepguard may always consider it a "suspicious" program based on the way that
namebench operates: It's a portable executable that reads your browser history 
file,
and sends UDP packets all over the world. 

I'm glad to see that it is no longer blocked by default. I also double-checked 
with
F-Secure 9.0.15370.0 today, and it isn't complaining (though it may not be using
DeepGuard):
