Securepoint VPN Client false positive?
« on: March 27, 2017, 07:59:00 AM »
I've been using Securepoint OpenVPN Client (SPSSLVpnService.exe) for quite some time now, but recently Avast has identified it as Win32:Malware-gen.
Can anyone confirm this is a false positive?

Thanks!
The installer (openvpn-client-installer-2.0.20.exe) was already analyzed - only Avast reports this as malware...
