« on: April 12, 2011, 08:43:20 AM »
Hi,

I reported my problem in blog entry (blog.avast.com/2011/04/11/false-positive-issue-with-virus-defs-110411-1), and "vlk" say my that I write in forum.

Thank you very much. I hope this problem HAVE  A SOLUTION.

Regards!

If you did delete the files, there's no other option.

Did you check in the avast virus chest section to see if the file is still there, IF you deleted to the chest.

Ok.

Yesterday, I sent you some recommendations through Twitter:

@avast_antivirus You should be informed immediately by Twitter and your blog. Too bad... :S

@avast_antivirus An IDEA: module in Avast! to warn about problems about this. With this module, when you detect, you can alert to users...

Direct deleting is never the better option... You can't recover files...
