Problem with Winrar self extracting archives
« on: October 30, 2004, 09:45:11 PM »
Reported as infected by upx! by the last Avast! version+ the last AV definition. (version 4.1.501- Vps:  version 0444-3). It doesn't happen with all winrar self extracting archives, just some of them.
"Of course" they are clean, if extracted by Winrar and re-scanned nothing suspicious is found.
Sounds like a bug, or?

The most important: submit the file to virus@avast.com, please - with a short description on what it is. If possible, pack it with Rar/Zip using a password (stated in the e-mail body).
