Anyway, I think the user is right... Why don't Alwil correct this false positive?

Anyway, I think the user is right...

Of course, I did not say the user is wrong.

And I also hope avast-team will fix this soon

Sorry, I've misunderstood you in a way...
But I was just adding a comment and so I've written anyway... I don't say you're wrong, just anyway.
Well, just a matter of words and words

Well, the OP had a legitimate question...

And when is soon, this was first posted 2 and a half weeks ago?

Soon has already passed.

Earth calling ALWIL. Anyone there?  Haven't seen ANY false positive of such magnitude to stay active for so long.

I have the same problem. I don't know why, seeing as Microsoft would get sued bigtime if they started handing out viruses...By the way I use Opera 9.02 if that helps Avast! I saw someone used it on another forum.

Well, this thread is from January this year, just tried it, still works:

This is on Avast' own forum. So 10 months is the longest time I have seen.  .

But this Zulu-warning is worse because more people get confused about the warning.

The false positive was removed in the latest vps update (0642-4).
We are sorry for the inconvenience - the virus guys said it was quite tough to remove the FP as Zulu is some kind of polymorphic virus and the detection algorithm was quite complex.

Thanks for the hard work
