KIS exe falls positive
« on: February 05, 2013, 09:58:55 AM »
Hello
I contact you on behalf of Micronic d.o.o. software producing company from Croatia.
We have a huge problem with Avast antivirus, our executable file KIS.exe was recognized as virus WIN-32:Evo-gen [Susp]
Avast deletes our exe file and our clients are unable to use KIS application, that has created lot of problems for us and our clients.
Please remove KIS.exe and CLADMIN.exe from your virus definitions. We need your assistance ASAP.
Best regards
Ilijana Janjic

Hi Ilijana Janjic

Well KIS.exe has never been a threat as KISS.exe has. Also because of this Chinese report there might be a misunderstanding: http://virus-com.com/viruscom/viruscom_108908.html for this PE32 executable fiscal program.
Also consider: http://f.virscan.org/kis.exe.html
I bet on a compressor false detection interpretation. Wait for the reaction to the files FP report.
See for a similar case here: http://www.dbvis.com/forum/thread.jspa?messageID=15788&tstart=0 (also a Win32:Evo-gen [Susp] Virus detection)

Cybersecurity is more of an attitude than anything else. Avast Evangelists.

Use NoScript, a limited user account and a virtual machine and be safe(r)!
