first of all what does this virus do?
secondly avast keep detecting a virus in this file:
http://new.line6.com/software/?submit=Show%3A&hardware=Bass+PODxt&name=All&os=Windows+XP
avast detects the virus before the download has finished
its the first file in the list.
it is the official line 6 website.
could someone try this and see if they get the same thing?? others on the line 6 forum say they never get this.
i found a virus a couple of days ago in a line6 file. so i don't know if i've downloaded it separately and it keeps attaching itself to the line6 files.
i would really like this update, please help.
cheers

gen is short for generic. So it is a generic name to define it is a trojan. Since this looks like a legitimate file to me, I think this is a false positive. Please send the file to virus@avast.com and have them take a look at it.

I've got this virus too.
Am not sure how I got it as the on access scanner did not pick it up but it was found during an on demand scan (thorough including archives). Mine is in C:\System Volume Information\_restore{DD66F69-E2F1-467A-B1A9-F31968CB5B22}RP81. I moved it to the chest but I'm not sure what to do with it now. I have completed the report form and also emailed it to avast. If anyone has any ideas what I should do now (I'm a complete novice!!
) I'd be really grateful!

seamonkey, disable system restore, reboot and it will be solved. And you can safely remove the file from the chest.

After you have rebooted, don't forget to
RE-ENABLE
System Restore

Just send an email with a direct link to the file, or with detailed instructions where/how to download it, and state you suspect a false alarm...
