Trojan Killer reported infected AVAST file - AVAST scan didn't find it
« on: December 05, 2013, 04:05:30 AM »
File C:\ProgramFiles\AVAST Software\AVASTBCL-Sfx.exe Application.Win32.Multiplug.D.dg!43 was identified as a threat. Trojan Killer wants me to resubscribe of course. Guidance from anyone familiar with this type of situation?

Webutation also doesn't think much of Trojan Killer:

Maybe removing Trojan Killer is a better choice ???

Tool only detects and then fixes when you pay, so that means i.m.o. no option to use it,
