Hi Damien,
Thank you for your question. The L3DTio_TIN.zeo plugin was last modified 11 years ago (build date 2007-06-25), so it's pretty unlikely to have a virus that seems to have been first detected last month. All pattern-matching AV software has a non-zero false positive rate, and this is another example.
Does F-secure stop the L3DT installer when it removes the L3DTio_TIN.zeo plugin, or does the installation proceed as normal otherwise?
If the installation otherwise works, you should be OK, as you probably don't need L3DTio_TIN. This plugin is only used to save heightfields as triangulated irregular network files (.tin), which is a kind of primitive mesh file format. If this plugins is deleted by F-secure, L3DT should continue to work just fine. L3DT will probably throw an error on startup due to the missing plugin; to prevent this, go to the extensions manager ('Extensions->Manager...', in menu), select the L3DTio_TIN plugin in the list, and press the 'remove' button. When you restart L3DT, it should all be sweet.
If the installer fails due to the F-secure intervention, please let me know, and I'll cook a new installer without this plugin. I doubt anyone uses it anymore.
Best regards,
Aaron.
