False positve in 1click dvd copy 5
« on: April 27, 2010, 11:27:39 PM »
It is a second time that this program is detected as W32:Vitro. That was fixed before yestarday but appeared again, as VPS 100427-1 is detected yet. I reported the file.

Please compress the file with a password and send it to virus@avast.com (together with the password), with a False alarm subject. Write a note about "VPS 100427-1", thanks!

You could also check the offending/suspect file at: VirusTotal - Multi engine on-line virus scanner and report the findings here the URL in the Address bar of the VT results page. You can't do this with the file securely in the chest, you need to extract it to a temporary (not original) location first, see below.

- avast5 - Create a folder called Suspect in the C:\ drive. Now exclude that folder in the File System Shield, Expert Settings, Exclusions, Add, type (or copy and paste) C:\Suspect\* That will stop the File System Shield scanning any file you put in that folder. Now enter the chest again and Extract the file to the Suspect folder and upload it to VT.

- GData uses avast as one of its two scanners so counts as 1 detection and almost certainly an FP if only those two detect it.

@ calcu007

Go to PROFILE then Modify Profile then Forum Profile Information then update your Signature: with information like my signature as this helps the helpers offer pertinent advice.

If its good for DavidR an avast! Überevangelist then it is good to do also.
