New description:

 When running the "port" command, Kaspersky Anti/Virus on Mac gives me the
 following warning:

 {{{
 Trojan program detected
 An application is accessing file that contains a Trojan program
 Threat: Trojan-PSW.Win32.LdPinch.ex
 Object: /opt/local//share/macports/Tcl/macports1.0/MacPorts.dylib
 }}}

Comment:

 The file you attached looks like a normal MacPorts.dylib. I would assume
 that a claim that a file compiled for OS X contains any virus, trojan or
 other malicious code that could affect Win32 is silly. Tell Kaspersky to
 fix their software.
