Another large set of Trojan-gen detection released today

[Pavel Baudis]

Hi All

after some period, there is another large bunch of Trojan-gen added in the today's update. We have tested is for long time so I do not expect serious problems from it. If you have some file which you believe is not Trojan-gen however, please send it as soon as possible to virus [at] avast [dot] com e-mail address.

Thank you for your cooperation   !!

I just wanted to ask where is your regular monday update when i saw this thread Testing entire drive...

A bit OT:

The VPS-history page looks a bit odd today:
http://www.avast.com/eng/vps_history.html

lot of white space on top, VPS-Date is covered by page headers/Menue etc..

both on IE6-uptodate and on Netscape 7.01

Yeah, definatly something went wrong there.

Also to bad, the two samples I send to (hmm what is his name again) Karel(?) are still not recognized again.

[RejZoR]

Yeah,lots of samples submited by me were not added (yet),but some of them got cought by Trojan-Gen signatures now

[Eddy]

Strange thing is they where added and perfectly detected before. I (just guessing) think they where removed again because the detection led to false positives, since then they where (sofar?) not added again although allmost all other av's are detecting them.

[RejZoR]

There was one false positive with WinRAR again. I have sent the warning to Alwil about this FP,so everyone else can focus on other FPs (if any)

[Eddy]

Using WinRar 3.40 myself, but scanning the folder didn't give a warning or detection.

[RejZoR]

It gave me warning on WinRAR 3.41 (latest official) on file Default.SFX.

Pavel, just a minor suggestion, but won't this be good at the annoucements forum?
