Avast! Eve-Gen False Positive
« on: January 24, 2015, 01:32:40 PM »
Hello avast! dev. team,

Avast! detects the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (aka FRST.exe) as threat via Eve-Gen [Sysp] behavior routine.

The Bleeping Computer's FRST's official download links where also marked by avast!.
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/farbar-recovery-scan-tool/

Direct download links:
FRST x32bit (FRST.exe)
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/farbar-recovery-scan-tool/dl/81/
FRST x64bit (FRST64.exe)
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/farbar-recovery-scan-tool/dl/82/



Please see attachment and remove this generic detection.


Thank you.
Regards,

I've reported via avast contact-form.  :) Now, I've reported via this form as well but it seems to me that the source is the  same.

I've posted here as well because it is important to us to know when is FP removed.

bump!

The avast! (ver_150125-0) still detects the 32bit version of FRST Tool and BC's download links.

Thanks
