Please update your vps and scan again.
Definations 20140508-0 is not detecting anything harmfull on my system in Cuetools.

OMG! Seriously? Nothing on your system?
I just updated the virus definition and I'm still getting the virus notification when I try to launch CUETools...




Running full scan now...


The thing is, I formatted C:\ partition and reinstalled Windows 7 two days ago and I was still receiving the virus notification with just Avast, CUETools, and Windows Updates installed.

Also, every time its a different .dll file that is being flagged in my C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Temp folder.

Help?

Okay I did another Full System Scan with these settings...and nothing.




So is there a virus on my PC or no? A Full system scan doesn't detect a virus but each time I launch CUETools I get a virus notification.

Which should I trust?

Please submit the file for analyzing to avast.

It is suspicious that Google gives zero results for that file.

Ok, now let us wait and see what they say about it.
Keep us informed please.

Win32:Evo-Gen [susp] = Suspicious
and only detected on access i think...

Having the exact same problem here.  Scanned CUETools and got the same "No Threat" report, but when I try to run it, I get the same notices described above.

I reloaded CUETools and that didn't make it go away. 

Anyone know how to make this stop?

You can add the file to the exclusions by clicking the link

Glad to know someone else is 'in the same boat'.

I do wonder if Avast can make this stop since it isn't CUETools.exe that is being flagged but a different .dll file in a user's Temp directory each time.
Perhaps Avast should give the user a chance to 'Allow' the offending file to load if Avast only suspects that it is virus infected...

[Eddy]

That wouldn't make sense.
You don't want anything that is suspicious to be used.

Besides, avast already offers to exclude things.

I spent a lovely 5 minutes running Cue Tools over and over, and hitting the "exclude file" button for each .dll file it didn't like... unfortunately, I ran out of patience before it ran out of dll's. 

Frustrating...
