Ad-Aware SE Personal, Build 1.06r1

G’day folks,
Just updated to Ad-aware 106 after d/l from Download.com. Installed it on two XP SP2 PCs each running Avast 4.6 Home Edition. On both machines Avast reports a problem in the temp files from the Ad-aware installer, but they’re different ‘infections’ on each machine. (“Win32:Sober-N [Wrm]” and “Win32:Trojan-gen. {VB}”.)

I suspect that something is a bit screwy here but I’m not sure how to progress this. I’ve submitted the installer to virustotal.com and it returned 18 clean bills of health.

Your comments would be appreciated.


Regards
Ken

I can only suggest.
Clean your temporary files.
Download it from another site (besides Download.com).

If the ‘false positive’ persists, can you send the samples to virus@avast.com ?
You can zip and password the files… Inform a link to this thread and the password used.
You can send the files to Chest and, from there, resend to Alwil for analysis.
Thanks.

Are you using the last VPS update of avast?
