Hello!
At the moment we are experiencing massive problems as Avast is moving .bat batch files used at logon time to the virus container. Those files should sit on the local hard drive and on the server. They are bot moved into the workstation's virus container. They are detected as IDP.generic but are definitely false positives.
I have put *.bat on the exception list and have disabled behavior control but the problems still go on. This has been going on for over a week now.
Simultaneously we are having problems with defective default user profiles on Windows 7. Users cannot log on any more. I have to copy a "clean" default user profile to the machine to make the problem go away. I don't have proof that Avast is the problem's source here, but the problems started simultaneously to Avast moving Bat files into the virus container.
By the way, on my home machine I have Avast Free Antivirus. Guess what? It killed my BAT file which I use to mount my NAS device. Also IDP.Generic false positive. The file only contains two "net use" commands, no delete commands. This machine has nothing to do with the network in my workplace. It seems that Avast has a huge problem with batch files at the moment.
Help, anybody?!?
Thanks in advance and best wishes,
Stefan
