Winrar SFX False positives!

[jvidal]

Hi!

From time to time, avast decides that almost all Winrar SFX archives are "infected" with some vage "evo-gen" virus. This is TOTALLY bogus. Can someone PLEASE FIX IT!!!!
Usually after a while, it is fixed, but will come back again (like now).

Every time I face this issue, I report the false positive. It usually gets fixed within a few days. I just don't know why it comes back again after a few months. It's really annoying, avast deletes or blocks SFX archives I use/create for no reason.
