but you cannot defend yourself from self-written stuff, since most scanners can't recognize these. therefore you could not install ANYTHING from the internet because there could always be a virus delivered with it...
Yeah sure - but it's about avoiding the obvious. A virus warning IS considered obvious.

The AV/FW solutions these days have options for advanced users to display a message on every suspicious event. So in general any packer or executable can lead to false positive with such feature enabled. Guess it is the end-user who doesn't have the ability to interpreted the difference between a real virus and a warning.
To explain why you might get a virus warning on nacasi packed executables (a real false positive). Simple, some wana-hackers/virus writers use software like nacasi to distribute their payloads.

yep, since nacasi takes one file and sends other files out of it, the checker cant gaurentee that the files coming out of it arent virus, so it will alert the user. Im pretty certain that other packers like molebox etc, would throw the same.
