False virus alert
«
on:
October 30, 2013, 06:41:31 PM »
Hello everyone,
I'm a real noob to such things, so I hope I'm choosing the right words:
I'm getting a false detection of
http://download.evolonline.org/manaplus/brokenantivirus/libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll
and therefore can't open a program (a client for an open source MMORPG) or update/reinstall it.
The programmer of this client asked me to report to you, so can you please look at this and give me/us a short feedback?
Thank you very much in advance!

Only that avast found a damaging website or file.
If you need more information, please just tell me which and maybe where I can find it.
This was when I tried to download it again (therefore ...firefox.exe).

Well, appears something is going on with your programmer's site, and not on your system:
http://urlquery.net/report.php?id=7315868
http://zulu.zscaler.com/submission/show/57411b45d56fcfa9ae4799cb612c89dc-1383157005
File here is detected by one a/v vendor.

Not blacklisted yet:

Screenshot of the toaster pop-up warning/block will help.
[EDIT:] Not a well-known site according to WOT:
http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/download.evolonline.org?utm_source=addon&utm_content=contextmenu
Could you please change the link above to
hxxp://
from the live one,
http:
? This will help other users from possibly getting infected by unwittingly clicking the now live link.
