What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I believe this to be a false positive as I don't believe mDesktop even supports

This issue prevents enterprise-level installation, for prospective users in 
many companies that operate corporate firewalls with virus/spyware blocking.  
Would it be possible to offer an OpenCandy-free installer, please?  Possibly as 
an alternative to the mainline one?

That works for me. I was using the older version at work because our company 
has a policy of paying for shareware :)
