Some months ago I submitted the iFinish Media 100 Transcoder executable as a false positive. What this is, is a read-only video decoder that enables video editing software other than Media 100 or iFinish to open and convert output from Media 100 and iFinish.
No way at all is it malware!
Today I decided to see if Avast had made any fix for this false positive by attempting to copy the transcoder file from where I made an exception. NO, THEY HAVE NOT! Avast immediately jumped on and deleted the "threat".
I have submitted it as a false positive again. If people at Avast don't actually personally examine false positive submissions *and respond by updating Avast to not delete them* then what good is Avast?
It still has no real global file ignore capability. Falsely detected threats still have to be individually exempted in every location, which gets extremely annoying real fast with various harmless diagnostic and repair utilities on flash drives. It should be able to be told to ignore FILES instead of LOCATIONS.
