Virus in Advanced Window Care [Free Version]
« on: June 13, 2008, 03:03:49 PM »
Avast [Screen Saver Mode] to night found two viruses related in AWC programming??

Only have one of the viruses? to give you Win-32 Delf-KMP {Trj}

I think the above string may be somewhere close correct
 I uninstalled AWC and just now during the new current AWC download Avast found the same virus again and I then just terminated the download.
[Advast advised/showed in its warning box the Avast shows the update of 080613-0] 13/06/2008]

Just now I have been also notified of the same in in "Windows Restore" So have disabled and then renenabled  "Restore"

Using Windows XP Home SP2
Using  the "Trial [60 dayw] Avast 4.8 Pro"
Your comments please?

Regards
Colin

Seems a false positive.
As a workaround, you can add these files to the Standard Shield provider (on-access scanning) exclusion list.
Left click the 'a' blue icon, click on the provider icon at left and then Customize. Go to Advanced tab and click on Add button...
You can use wildcards like * and ?. But be careful, you should 'exclude' that many files that let your system in danger.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
