I’ve gotten the Win32:Trojan-gen {Other} virus warning now, and I must say it’s really annoying. I’m only running the trial version of avast, but it’s up to date (0433-1).

I can’t see anything suspicious in the HijackThis-log, and trend and panda online scanners can’t find anything.

Even though I have run the program, the “virus” seems to be contained (it hasn’t spread). This might change after boot, of course, but with what I’ve read about this “virus” so far, I’m not really scared.

Since I used the panda scanner, I now have the kuang2 “virus” in imscan.dll. That I can’t blame avast for directly, but it is annoying to know that without a virus scanner my system would have been perfectly healthy and I wouldn’t have used hours on finding out what was wrong. A hoax is sometimes worse than an actual virus.

Now to my questions: How do I configure avast to ignore theese two “infected” files? Why is avast blocking the program, even though I haven’t put it in the chest? And why is there no uninstall option, at least for the trial version?
