avast said this was a false positive less than a year ago. I find it hard to believe this has changed in the intervening time. If it is indeed a false positive then, sadly, it will not be the first time (or second ... ) that avast has flagged previously corrected false positives again.

Yes, a problem with generic signatures, tweaking them could bring back a detection previously corrected.

False positive has now been confirmed.

Fixed with the latest VPS update - 090224-0.

Thanks Avast!!!!

Tech and Avast staff:
Okay grand so it was a false positive. Referring to my original post at the start of this thread, do I therefore now restore the file that I quarantined?
''Win32:Trojan-gen{Other}'' has been found in ''C:\Windows\MOTA113.exe\[tElock]'' is my Event log entry of the 'detection'. And is C:\Windows\MOTA113.exe anything in particular (other than the false positive)?
Thanks for any further advice.

Yes you can, open the chest, infected files section and right click on the file, select restore. Check the original location that the file is there and delete the copy from the chest.
