Threat detected
« on: October 26, 2013, 08:37:16 PM »
Hello everybody

When I try to launch my Wireless Configuration Utility ( Trendnet wireless PC card ), it gives me a message :

Avast File System Shield has blocked a threat

Object : C:\Program Files\TRENDnet\TEW-641PC_TEW-643PI\WlanCU.exe
Infection : Win32:Evo-gen [susp].
Action : Move to chest

The threat was detected and blocked when the file was created or modified.

Im using this file for long time, and it's the first time this message appeared.

Can you help me ?

Thank you for your answer

When i reported a false positive some days ago i got a reply from them that it was fixed in the next update,
and they wanted me to confirm that it was fixed.

Is it possible to know if the file has been sent ?
