Same here... I'm sure it's a false positive. I clicked on Ignore and everything is fine... except that the message pops up every time I scan my computer.



I hope Avast team will remove this FP in the new update.

I 'v just also got a warning from avast , it detected a virus in the ils.dll file in the windows\system32 folder. Type : Rootkit
This happened on 2 of my computers (laptop and other) at almost the same time in this morrning (December 15 th, 2008)

This problem seems to be encountered by many people all around the world and in the same time :-\. It a very strange warning message, not usual ???.

Hi, the simple way to solve theis problem is
1. ignore (only in this case)
2. to update vps database (download or click on update with mouse)
3. reboot with scan
4. seems okay

5. later ... use for security a rootkit analyse tool like rootkit revealer or other tools

Hi folks,

If this is the file:
General dll file information
File Name:   ils.dll
File Size in bytes:   81920
File Size in kbytes:   80KB
Advanced dll file information
Company Name:   Microsoft Corporation
Software Product Name:   Windows® NetMeeting®
File version:   5.1.2600.2180
Description:   User Location Services Component Module
Operating System:   NT-Win32
File Type:   App

It is a FP, and then can be ignored. There are reports in from other forums too.
Should be corrected next time round, or already has with the most recent update,

Don't need to post twice the same.
This is corrected in the last virus database, please, update it.

I got the same message this morning and went to have a look at the file:

it says it was created on 25/04/2008 and was modified on 14/04/2008 - not sure how it is possible to modify something before it's created - but in any case, looks like it's been there for a while and I haven't noticed anything suspicious yet.
