Panda Free Antivirus declares zotero.exe infected

ftr
Yesterday I installed Panda Free AV and today it shows a warning declaring Zotero virus infected.
I guess this to be a false positive.
Am I right ?
How can I see whether it is a false or a true positive ?

Now Panda demands to restart to neutralise the infected prog.
What should I do ?

The AV warning concerns Zotero standalone.

    What's the exact error? Assuming you downloaded Zotero from zotero.org, it's a false positive, and you should report it to them.

    The error message just announced: Infected.
    And linked to the standalone folder on my pc.

    After closing the message the zotero.exe file in the standalone folder no longer exists.

    OK, you'll need to take that up with them.

    What happens if I use the database produced with standaloen with the FF extension ? Any dangers ?

    No, that's fine. They'll share the same data directory by default, in fact, so you just need to install Zotero for Firefox.
