My AVAST software recently alerted when I tried to run TFC by OldTimer on my PC. I’ve used it successfully for a long time and see that it is still highly recommended by many AV experts including recommendations by folks on this forum in the past. I ran an AVAST scan and it removed the TFC program. Now if I attempt to download a new version of it AVAST always alerts it as malware. Anyone else having this problem or know if it is a false alarm? Resolution/Solutions???

I just liked to give you this additional info for what it is worth.
Tools with a certain action radius always may be FP-prone.

most likely a old scan result so those FP are fixed, same MD5 as my scan
