False positive on H _e _P _F _A _P.pdf
« on: March 19, 2010, 04:34:50 PM »
Avast 5 shows a probably false positive, identified as PDF:CVE-2009-0658, on a file named H _e _P _F _A _P.pdf. No other A/V engine on virustotal.com shows it as an alert, except for Gdata which I presume is based on Avast too, since it gives exactly the same report. If anyone from the avast team is reading this and wants to check it, I've uploaded a copy of the file here:

It'd be nice if this would be fixed in an update of the virus dbase.
