BleepingComputer - FP
« on: November 27, 2010, 10:52:15 PM »
Hello from Croatia.  :)
I just want to report FP on this site: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/anti-virus/combofix
Precisely, Avast detects trojan under ComboFix Download Link from the BleepingComputer Mirror. The links have random letters and expires in 10 minutes so probably there is a problem, but i have downloaded Combofix from that site many times and this is the first time Avast detected something.

Yes, avast! is detecting the Combo-Fix.sys file within ComboFix, at the moment, the best that you can do is report it as a false positive. The more people that do, the quicker they see the problem and can correct it.

I have reported it also.

Send the file in a password protected archive to avast! with the subject 'False Positive' to virus(at)avast.com
Include the info and password in the body of the email.
