Win32:Evo-gen[Susp]
« on: August 16, 2014, 09:18:08 AM »
Hello.

My avast! is alerting me a Win32:Evo-gen[Susp] infection in the following path:
C:\Windows\...\6bf1jdakljdkjdkljdksc (many characters)jksadjdasjas.tmp
Process: C:\Windows\servicing\TrustedInstaller.exe

Whatever the action I choose, it repeats again and again.

I've used TrendMicro online and there are no issues, and also followed some tips e.g, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, Farbar ( I have their logs) and finally aswMBR rootkit, but this latter freezes in the middle of the process.
I have java and adobe reader updated, and I`m using W7. Is there anyone here to help me?

Note: It seems to me a false positive, but I could not find a way to set the AVAST to forget it.

Thank you very much.

Ok Pondus, see below the link

https://www.virustotal.com/pt/file/f2ef85f5aba307976d9c649d710b408952089458dde97d4def321df14e46a046/analysis/

So maybe I will need to use one of your options to report the false positive to Avast.

thanks
