    The definition indicates it is more of a detection routine, than an actual virus.

    Description:
    A generic detection routine designed to detect common family characteristics shared in several variants.
    This special detection routine was developed in order to detect unknown variants and will be enhanced continuously.

    Which most likely is resulting in a false positive.

    Most well constructed Anti-Virus programs can exclude specific files or directories so that they don't generate errors any further.
