avast-alarm during AVPE-Update: Small-1700 false positive ?

[DavidR]

Take No Action only ignores that instance, any further accesses or extractions will obviously cause avast to alert again. The exclusions is the only real option to avoid the repetitive alert.

The mentioned file (avewin32.dll) contains uncrypted samples of viruses - so I'm afraid the only solution is to put this file  into the list of Standard Shield exclusions.

Thanks igor,
for the info..
I even managed to make the exclusion work by using
*\avewin32.dll

(excluding the AVPE-Update/Temp folder
C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All Users\Anwendungsdaten\AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic\*
somehow didn't work for me)

I think that there is a path character length restriction so the deeper the file is in the sub folders the more likely you are to hit the restriction. Unfortunately I don't know what the character number is for the restriction.

I posted again in the AVPE/Avira-board concerning this:

awaiting feedback there.. (or Avira's next update of avewin32.dll, which will hopefully deal with this issue..
