FALSE POSITIVES!!!!!!
« on: September 20, 2017, 07:42:51 PM »
Somebody PLEASE put a stop to the false positives!!!!!!
I just installed the latest auslogics DiskDefrag (7.2) and avast flags it as "malware-gen". I reported the false positive via the UI's link "report false postive" AND CRRATED AN EXCLUSION. The exclusion is ignored by avast and the detection window keeps appearing over and over.
I AM SICK OF THE FALSE POSITIVES!!!!!!!!!
On the other hand, real & dangerous viruses are ignored by avast.

Well we are getting tired of you polluting this webboard with the same types of posts while you know how and where to report them.

Besides that, and I think you have been told before, the detection is correct.
