When I did a full scan on my pc today with virus definition 100601-1, Avast detected some Adobe Photoshop 7.0 application files as Win32:Malware-gen. I suspected that it was a false positive because these files have been on my pc ever since I installed Photoshop and Avast never detected them as threats until now. I immediately updated my virus definition to 100602-0 and ran another full scan. This time, no threats were detected.
Can anyone confirm the virus definition 100601-1 caused a false positive in Photoshop 7? The reason I'm asking this is because a few months back, I was trying out Avira and it too flagged the same Photoshop files as threats, but it seems that it too was a case of false positive since subsequent scans eventually turned up nothing.
Thanks.
