Intel AA_v36.exe/v34 - false positive ?

[psm_h]

Hi,

I executed the Free Avast on my sister laptop, and the following was flagged :

c:\Intel\AA_v36.exe
PUP:Win32:RemoteAdmin-L [Tool]

c:\Intel\AA_v34.exe
PUP:Win32:RemoteAdmin-K [Tool]

However, trying to search the web for a, I just could find about it being a Remote Acces program.

Is this a false positive ?

PUP:Win32:RemoteAdmin-L [Tool] > PUP = Possible Unwanted Program

So avast is telling you that you have a remote admin tool, and it may be wanted or unwanted



You can upload file(s)  ( c:\Intel\AA_v36.exe / c:\Intel\AA_v34.exe )  to www.virustotal.com and check it with multiple (70) AV engines for a second opinion

You may post link to scan result here



From the file name it seems to belong to Ammyy Admin remote control application
