iiNetUsage Gadget flagged as Malware
« on: June 28, 2008, 11:04:22 AM »
Hi,

I'm the author of the Windows Sidebar gadget, iiNetUsage. This gadget displays the internet quota usage for people with ADSL with iiNet (http://www.iinet.net.au).

I've had a few users complain that over the last few days Avast now picks up my gadget as malware.

How do I go about getting this resolved?

The gadget can be found at http://emerson.kirk-burnnand.com/iiNetUsage.zip

Thanks,
Emerson

Send the sample to virus@avast.com zipped and password protected with the password in email body, a link to this topic might help and false positive in the subject.

Update:

I have just downloaded the zip file and I'm not getting an alert on the file in the zip. I'm using avast VPS 080627-0 (latest version). So I would suggest the users ensure they have a) the latest version of your tool and b) the latest avast VPS version.
