Windows 7 Service pack 1 installed. Virus warning is a FALSE POSITIVE

[ardra1]

i had the same problem for a while after the service pack 1 install and it has now stopped.......
i ran ashampoo winoptimizer and updated avast program and updates.

not sure if either solved the problem..........

Just installed Win7 SP1 and I get the same virus warning.
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.
C:\Windows\assembly\NativeImages_v2.0.50727_32\Temp\ZAP428B.tmp\mscorlib.dll
Anyone know if this is real or a false positive for sure?
Updated virus definitions and program then rebooted. That did not resolve the issue.
Ran CCleaner, Cleaned all temp files and cleaned registry and it stopped.

just updated avast..program update..about to reboot..fingers crossed..

I just registered to add that I'm having the same problem. I hope they fix this soon, and REALLY hope windows patch service hasn't been breached and sending out malware in their updates! btw full legal non-pirated win7 home premium 64 fresh install. only other software on it is ms office 2010 (licensed), avast free and printer drivers.

Interestingly I just got Avast to run a scan on the c:\windows\microsoft.net\ folder and it found no viruses.

Seems like doing a Program update worked!! Been 15mins without a notice. BTW I could do without the Avast gadget, the sys tray icon does a good enough job of letting me know if I'm secure or not.

I did another program update about 10mins ago and it seems to have cleared up the problem.

I reported it as a false positive at the same time it stopped showing up so either the definitions update fixed it, or avast is now ignoring it.

Essexboy, I too have the exact same problem following a Windows 7 64 Bit update to SP1.  How can I upload a false positive from the chest other than restoring?  If I choose this option, Avast will keep on picking this file up as a Trojan.

NoordZee update your avast program and definitions and see if its still happening.

I got the same annoying problem just after installing Service Pack 1 from Microsoft. I do not know what to do....The warning keeps appearing every few seconds.

[gordon861]

After doing the update it was clear until a minute ago when:


BING BING BING BING Threat Detected ....


AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

I think if you manually update your virus definitions to the latest version 110301-2 it supposedly fixes the problem.
