Title: Flickr uploader
Post by: tommytinkroom on November 20, 2009, 01:25:20 PM

Hi, First post here.I've had flickr uploader installed for quite a while and avast scans it as being clean,but now all of a sudden it detects it as a virus.I've uninstalled flickr uploader and reinstalled from flickr website,but during install avast detects a trojan again.Does anyone else have the same problem?

looks like a false positive, and no detection from Avast
Have you updated your Avast program to see if it still detect it?

Just incase, can you upload it again to VT?

That page says recieved 2009.07.05.

When you upload it again, it should give you the option to re-scan the file.
