Hello, I have already made a post about avast! seemingly detecting a false positive from the file asrupdate.exe which is the update file for Evonsoft's product Advanced Spyware Remover. Avast! says it contains Win32:VB-BIS [Trj] , but Evonsoft's products are famous for being good and a lot of people use their "Advanced Windowscare".
I have already posted about this before, and have even sent a zipped version (yes i took it out of the chest first) of the file to virus@avast.com , but for over a week and after at least three updates, Avast! still detects this file.
I realize that i can put it on an exclusion list, but I would appreciate it if Avast! would fix this false positive. I dont know what else I can do. I posted before about it and sent in the file to avast. Any advice would be appreciated. You can view the site where i downloaded this program from at

Avast! does not detect any trojans while downloading the file, only when installing the program. The on access scanner will detect asrupdate.exe and say it has VB-BIS [Trj] when you try to install it.
I believe this is a false positive and would like to know if it actually is or not. Thank you.

A lot of antiviruses detect this file... so I'm not sure if it's a false positive.
