Creating SFX archives with WinRAR - Win32: Trojan-gen (Other)
« on: February 14, 2009, 05:12:08 PM »
Hello all!

Well, I have this one problem. I have one game which I wanted to compress into SFX WinRAR archive. The game files are not infected, and I can make any kind of sfx archive - as long as I don't add an icon for archive. When I add an icon for archive (which is 48x48 in size), upon creating the archive, Avast jumps up claiming it is Win32: Trojan-gen (Other). WinRAR is v3.51, the version that was given for free about a year ago. Avast is v4.8.1335, VPS 090213-0.
It is really any file compressed with an icon. I know it is rather old version of WinRAR, but it was for free, and cannot be updated.
