srw Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Howdy...Am currently using Avast, and a recent VPS update(17/07/08), has turned my shows into virus lockdowns.As such, i now need to turn its "On access scanner" off, so i can create and/or view any shows.Went to Avast site and sent the *information below, obtained via http://www.virustotal.com/metodos.htmlThis site Virustotal, provides a service that analyzes suspicious files and facilitates quick detection of viruses, worms, trojans, and all kinds of malware detected by antivirus engines.Just upload your suspect file via email (<10mb)and you get a report like below.Hopefully they will fix this problem in the the next VPS update. *Information below[ file data ]* name..: File createdP2X5.5.2.exe* size..: 721655* md5...: 9003a522ad7dc244b03d4c3d020114a4* sha1..: 662809ca2933f4e53ab603ad6803b1202371b640* peid..: ASPack v2.12[ scan result ]AhnLab-V3 2008.7.17.0/20080717 found nothingAntiVir 7.8.0.68/20080717 found nothingAuthentium 5.1.0.4/20080716 found nothingAvast 4.8.1195.0/20080717 found [Win32:Trojan-gen {Other}]AVG 8.0.0.130/20080717 found nothingBitDefender 7.2/20080717 found nothingCAT-QuickHeal 9.50/20080716 found nothingClamAV 0.93.1/20080717 found nothingDrWeb 4.44.0.09170/20080717 found nothingeSafe 7.0.17.0/20080717 found nothingeTrust-Vet 31.6.5962/20080717 found nothingEwido 4.0/20080717 found nothingF-Prot 4.4.4.56/20080716 found nothingF-Secure 7.60.13501.0/20080717 found nothingFortinet 3.14.0.0/20080717 found nothingGData 2.0.7306.1023/20080717 found [Win32:Trojan-gen ]Ikarus T3.1.1.34.0/20080717 found nothingKaspersky 7.0.0.125/20080717 found nothingMcAfee 5340/20080716 found nothingMicrosoft 1.3704/20080717 found nothingNOD32v2 3276/20080717 found nothingNorman 5.80.02/20080716 found nothingPanda 9.0.0.4/20080716 found nothingPrevx1 V2/20080717 found nothingRising 20.53.32.00/20080717 found nothingSophos 4.31.0/20080717 found nothingSunbelt 3.1.1536.1/20080717 found nothingSymantec 10/20080717 found nothingTheHacker 6.2.96.381/20080716 found nothingTrendMicro 8.700.0.1004/20080717 found nothingVBA32 3.12.8.0/20080717 found nothingVirusBuster 4.5.11.0/20080716 found nothingWebwasher-Gateway 6.6.2/20080717 found nothing[ notes ]packers (F-Prot): Aspackpackers (Kaspersky): ASPack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limey Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 I confirm the above "False Positives" when using Avast. Once notified they normally fix these things very quickly.Limey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Beckham Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 I have had the same thing and have sent an email to Avast this morning to let them know, sit tight for a while as Limey says they usually act pretty quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegee Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 I have tried, three times today, to upload an EXE file to Media Fire in both zipped and unzipped format and in each case it was rejected as being a possible VIRUS/TROJAN.I wonder if they are using AVAST?I eventually uploaded to MyFreeFileHosting with no problem:Here's a link, it is worth checking out:http://myfreefilehosting.com/DaveG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 I'm sorry about this problem!We just sent requests to Avast, G-Data and Mediafire companies.I hope they will quickly fix this false detection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Burns Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Hi...This morning, on running P2Exe 5.5 beta, my Avast virus scanner flagged up the above malicious report on a previously run exe created slideshow file. Every other similar file (P2exe - exe file) also flagged up also. I also scanned the apr.exe file for 5.5 beta, which also triggered a trojan response from AVAST.However, when I scanned the apr.exe file from the 5.1 version, it did NOT trigger the trojan warning. Does this tell me something? I have read a great deal about the possibility of a 'false positive' warning of this trojan with Avast virus scanner. Has anyone hit a similar problem? I notice one more post regarding this, but would have expected a few more today id this is due to the latest avast virus update. Incidentally, one forum suggested that the latest version of avast should be used. I have today downloaded version 4.8 of avast, but trojan problem still there. I have uninstalled p2exe 5.5 beta, and tried to download the new 5.5 deluxe but 80% of downlad and Avast stops the download with the trojan warning.I am at a loss as to what to do next? Any suggestions ?NB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After yesterdays Avast update I got the alert for the first time. I read in a previous thread that disabling avast for the time being is the way to go. Thats what I've done and so waiting patiently for the fix.Regards,kessi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 I just checked up with virustotal.com online service. Avast, GData, Ikarus antiviruses already fixed this problem with false detection in latest update (2008-07-18).Mediafire.com again accepts slideshows for uploading.
