I contacted Karel Divis from Avast. I sent her a copy of the application installer we’re using and she said it was not flagged. We have not had any additional calls, but our users use the software every day and our initial solution was to turn Avast off in that directory, so it’s unlikely we would’ve had any additional calls anyway.

Is it possible that only those with Avast Professional would’ve had this occur, because that’s what our help desk is telling me, that only those who had Avast Professional were calling in. It could also be that all of our users who have Avast simply have Avast Professional (as our customers are nearly all government entities).

Thank you for your assistance. It was interesting to us that this file had been in use for a year or so, and was flagged all of a sudden after an Avast update.
