Hi Chim,
How to deal with false positives: [Mini Sticky] False Positives
Thanks for that, Frank. There are however, 2 problems I'm encountering. One of those 2 AIM Files, I can't even successfully move to the Virus Chest. Only the smaller File. The larger File, I thought maybe if I increased the size Setting for File to be moved or whatever that Setting is ... that I'd be able to move it to the Virus Chest. But, still no dice. The other problem is that with the long File Path, I don't believe the -
C:\AOL Instant Messenger\AIM.exe\%MAINDIR%\MiniBug Transport --- that I previously mentioned, is the entire File Path. Both in the Manual Scan Virus Alert Window and the subsequent Scan Results Little Spreadsheet thing, they seem to chop off part of the File Path. Yesterday I did a Windows Search for that AIM File in question above and found nothing.
So, considering that I really don't know the
entire File Path for the 2 alleged Infected AIM Files tagged by avast! ... AND that one of them cannot even be moved to the Virus Chest ... how do I go about FINDING the entire File Paths for these 2 AIM Files so as to check them out at VirusTotal and VirusScan Jotti?
BTW, when y'all mention
zipping Suspect Files and sending them to avast!, what utility are you using to zip the Files with? I used the WinZip Trial version years ago, which I obviously don't even have right now. Can't the Suspect Files be sent to avast! from WITHIN the Virus Chest without any need to zip or password protect, Etc.? If that's the case, I can at least move the ONE Suspect AIM File to the Virus Chest that does allow itself to be moved and send that ONE File to avast.
