Downloader.Agent.XS (Trojan Horse) Does avast! home detects this virus?

Hi, I'm just wondering does Avast! detects this trojan? I looked in the virus reference and couldn't find it. My cousin downloaded AVG Free for me and it said I had 2 viruses of Downloader.Agent.XS. I want to go back to avast! but I'm not sure if it detects this. Thanks

Nope. From my point of view AVG generates false positive with this signature.
See my eXcessive Software webpage

Wow, really? Thank you for the notice
This is the first time I ever had a virus and I thought I was just safe with avast! until my cousin came over and downloaded it.
I'll redownload avast! again

Oh and I'm just wondering, which file did AVG say your file was infected?

All on that page except AdBlock filterlist. I submitted false positive report to GriSoft today at around 7 AM CET and i hope they'll fix this soon.

I can't really say judging only on false positive. VGrep doesn't have this entry yet since it was added yesterday and i don't have any real Downloader.Agent.XS sample to verify this.
