Title: utorrent = Win32:Poison-DU [Trj] ?
Post by: anoid77 on April 27, 2008, 09:56:25 PM

since this morning avast home edition v 4.8 is detecting
utorrent as a virus...
is this normal?

I deleted the prog and re-downloaded it, and it detected the source on the web as a virus too...

here the log:

2008-04-27   12:44:43   1209314683   SYSTEM   1596   Sign of "Win32:Poison-DU [trj]" has been found in "http://download.utorrent.com/1.7.7/utorrent.exe" file.

It's a false positive, already reported and will be corrected in the next virus database update.

Actually the false positive is already fixed in the VPS update 080427-1  ;)
