win32:evo-gen(susp)
« on: October 18, 2013, 03:09:27 PM »
I am running Caesar11 pipe stress package and today AVAST has decided to quarantine the following file prepip.exe designating it as a suspicious file.  This programme worked with no problems yesterday. 

Any ideas on how to move forward

I just got back from vacation.  I use Malwarebytes and Windows Defender and Spybot S&D as on-demand scanner backups to AVast free.  When I run MWB and WD I get the win32:evo-gen (susp) message.
Avast free full scan and Avast free rootkits scan does not detect anything.  When I 'X' out of the Avast warning message, MWB and WD run to completion with no hits.  No hit at all with Spybot S&D.  When I run all of these scans on my wife's PC, no hits from Avast free or the others.  Both hits on my PC were 'object' wise installation wizard.  The Process during Malwarebytes was 'mbam.exe'; the process during Windows Defender was 'svchost.exe'.  FALSE POSITIVE?  Can someone enlighten me?
