Just to be clear, there is no bug in HTCondor to patch.  If we knew what 
was triggering Dr Web to falsely identify our 'condor_ckpt_probe' tool 
on Ubuntu as a virus we could perhaps change it.  We have sent email to 
the support channel for Dr Web with our findings and have not yet heard 
a response.  If you have contracted support with Dr Web, perhaps you 
could do the same - maybe you'd get a faster response.  Then you could 
forward along to us what they say :).

In the meantime, if you do not intend to recompile your jobs with 
condor_compile and then submit jobs with "universe=standard" to 
HTCondor, or if you have no idea what I am talking about with regards to 
condor_compile and standard universe, then the condor_ckpt_probe binary 
is not required and can be removed with no consequences.

Hope this helps,
Todd
