Hi All
after some period, there is another large bunch of Trojan-gen added in the today’s update. We have tested is for long time so I do not expect serious problems from it. If you have some file which you believe is not Trojan-gen however, please send it as soon as possible to virus [at] avast [dot] com e-mail address.
Thank you for your cooperation !!

A bit OT:
The VPS-history page looks a bit odd today:
http://www.avast.com/eng/vps_history.html
lot of white space on top, VPS-Date is covered by page headers/Menue etc…
both on IE6-uptodate and on Netscape 7.01

Strange thing is they where added and perfectly detected before. I (just guessing) think they where removed again because the detection led to false positives, since then they where (sofar?) not added again although allmost all other av’s are detecting them.

There was one false positive with WinRAR again. I have sent the warning to Alwil about this FP,so everyone else can focus on other FPs (if any)

Using WinRar 3.40 myself, but scanning the folder didn’t give a warning or detection.

It gave me warning on WinRAR 3.41 (latest official) on file Default.SFX.
