Avast!, Url2file incompatibility.
« on: February 08, 2010, 12:19:58 AM »
Dear Sir or Madam

I'm running Avast! 4.8 Home Edition under Windows XP Pro ver. 2002 Service Pack 2.

To use Url2file ( see http://www.chami.com/free/url2file_wincon.html ) I'm forced to
shut down Avast! because it regards Url2file to be a worm and stops.

Does any way to fix the hitch exist ?
 
Any hint is very appreciated.

Thanks for reading me.
Best regards.

Hi Barbara,

As you can see it is considered adware/pup/riskware/downloader...

I am not sure whether you will be able to get this detection removed...

Use DavidR's advice at the end of his post to add it to the exclusions...
