there are tutorials at http://www.portforward.com, that site tells you exactly how to forward ports.  The thread tells you what ports to forward.

That is a false positive. If you notice, the filename that is flagged is the one you just downloaded. Obviously, we are not going to direct you to a site that contains trojans.

A false positive is when a virus scanner claims something is a virus, but it really isn't. This is because most modern scanners use hueristic(sp?) scanning, to identify variants of threats, and new threats that their database is unaware of. It's not that your virus scanner is lieing: it's just wrong. Always better to err on the side of safety, of course.

port triggering is not necessary for opening the ports to run a soldat server.  Follow the instructions on that site for how to forward the ports in your router's configuration, that is what the site is intended to help you with.

btw chris, heuristic ;)
