Erroneus virus report

[Deviad]

Hello, people.
I've got a boring issue with avast antivirus 4 professional.
There's a program called Teamspeak (www.teamspeak.org) that I use to talk with my clan mates when I play Counter Strike. Well, since a little time until now it's been saying that keypress.dll is a trojan... of course it's an error because it's never recognized it as a virus until today.
This is the full log about the alarm:
02/08/2004 20.47.14   NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM   1464   Sign of "Win32:Trojan-gen. {Other}" has been found in "C:\PROGRAMMI\TEAMSPEAK2_RC2\KEYPRESS.DLL" file.  

How can I fix it and just let Avast ignore it?

Hopefully this answers your question.

There is Teamspeak and Teamspeak2, first one is a legitimate application, second one is a trojan. Which one do you use?

Heh, I got the same virus notifation upon this morning's bootup....this time with the /mirc6.03/mirc.exe file.  

The siren sounded cool though....scared the heck out of me  

Donno if this is a false alarm though....never had any problems with this file before.

Looking at the error Deviad posted, I'd say he has the Teamspeak2 trojan.      

So, it looks like this is not an bad alarm that he got.

DScans,

mirc 6.16 is the latest. Earlier version had exploits. Upgrade, you can be infected with a irc trojan.

This thread talks about potential increase in False Positive - Trojan-gen detections

This thread is also similar to your experience http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=2;action=display;threadid=6359

Aside from this, keeping your irc software up to date is important as vulnerabilities are identified and software patched.
