Hello,

I use a wonderful media player called Daum PotPlayer and they release updates daily. And Avast is blocking the latest version 1.6.50945 and says it has Win32:EVO-Gen (Susp). This is becoming a very popular media player and has always been very clean of any virus. So this must be a False Positive.

I have actually noticed with most potplayer updates Avast never complains but once in a while Avast reports that Potplayer has a virus and will not let me download it.

Can you guys fix this please?

Also here is where I normally get the Pot player updates from.

And here is the download link for the update with the issue.

Also I would highly recommend anyone looking for the ultimate Video player to give Potplayer a look.

Thanks

True :)

But Avast should not be Suspicious of Potplayer :)

Also I sent an email to Avast.
