Punkbuster

[everville37]

Eh...Avast has decided that Punkbuster is a win32:malware gen.

Never had this problem and punkbuster is obviously a genuine program?

So how do i go about getting Avast to accept this as safe?

(ive sent a false positive report)

Seems quite a few people are getting bitten by this on the BF3 forums - although they don't appear to know it.

Definitons update  just released

[polonus]

Punkbuster can come out a bit aggressive because it's nature as a cheater detection program.Therefore sometimes it is flagged as generic trojan malware by av solutions. On July 9th Bitdefender produced a FP, and now apparently avast found issues with the executable. So probably a false positive. When reported and actually found to be a FP, avast is known to solve these issues quickly, sometimes with a coming update. So just wait for it to be fixed. Well I see the issue has already been fixed with a new update, while posting this,

Not seeing the update on my avast, so can't tell if it's cleared the problem....thanks for your help though chaps.

The more people that send an FP then the faster they will get to see it
