Metaploit 3.1 unwelcome passenger?

Can anyone else try this:

Loaded up Metasploit 3.1 from metasploit3.com on a Windows XP box. After install my anti-virus (AVG-free) freaked out at the tools/nc.exe binary claiming a trojan

Can anyone else try this and confirm or deny?

MSF dev team has been emailed

[EDIT] Non-issue. Netcat mis-labeld as a trojan. Known issue

  I can confirm this.
  
  I was using Symantec AV and it did the same. You can usually mark those as harmless...
  
  Aren't those files which are detected injections for sql/apache/etc? I am assuming it has something to do on the lines with that, I'll have ot look again.

  It's not a metasploit problem, it's a netcat problem and a lot of antivirus solutions will detect is and delete it.
  
  BTW. Having these tools installed on your normal everyday use PC might not be a good idea. Sure you can hack other people with them, but they will also make easy to hack you.
  
  I keep my tools on external drives, installed on virtual machins or installed on dedicated machins where I don't have anything that can't be lost without loss
