The softpedia site seems quite big and legitimate. It's probably their

 MvdV> Yeah right. How does one test FidoNet software without a FidoNet setup?

Yeah, that triggerd my bullshit detector too. ;) It's a "nicely"
formulated standard text. ;)

It probably just means they used 2 or more (= several) virus scanners to
detect if the exe file is clean...
