avast 4.6 home edition (and VPS 0605-0)
« on: January 30, 2006, 03:44:18 AM »
Since my avast updated, it keeps flagging AD WATCH as having WIN32 Trojan-gen {other}.  I have had to alter my settings to ignore the folder that its in as it keeps terminating the program.

Is this a real problem, or just an oversight within the VPS 0605-0 (was fine until this updated today).

Please pack the (mis)detected file into ZIP or RAR, protect it with a password and send it to virus@avast.com (with something like "False alarm" in the e-mail subject).
Thanks.

Welcome to forum!  ;D just wanted to say, if you want to keep that picture as avatar, acording forum rules, you'll have to resize it. So... I made an alternative version you can use. Hope you'll like it and I see you visiting here not only once.  ;) Best wishes to you.

Still having problems, but for the time being, i have excluded the folder in program setting -> exclusions and browsed for the folder in question. All working fine (at the moment  ;).  Thanks for your assistance

 :)  Hi :

      I only know "Ad Watch" as being in one of the pay-for-it
      Ad-Aware programs !? If yes, you should consider asking
      the Experts on the forums at www.landzdown.com .
      This forum is staffed by all the Experts who used to provide
      assistance on the now-defunct Lavasoft Ad-Aware
      Support forums .

Yes Ad-watch is a pay for item.  But as all is working fine now and only Avast reports its as tojan then will just ignore for the moment.

fatboy_jt, did you send the file to virus@avast.com, as I suggested?
