Antiy-AVL mentions "avastui.exe" as Trojan[Packed]/Win32.PolyCrypt

Hi,
I have been using Avast free antivirus for years and i love it very much.I really appreciate developers work :).

I am using process explorer by microsoft to manage my processes.I have scanned every process in process explorer by submitting hash to virustotal.com and Antiy-AVL mentions “avastui.exe” as Trojan[Packed]/Win32.PolyCrypt in virustotal.com :o

here is the link :

is that a false positive? :-\

Report it as a false positive to them: submit@antiy.com

I have reported :slight_smile:

Thank you, now all we can do is wait and see if they fix it or respond to your mail.
Please keep us informed.

Hi Eddy,

Win32/Poly Crypt, also known as WinReanimator, is a fake antispyware program that can affect the Windows operating system. Adware detection also known as VirtuMonde. Remarkable and funny to mention is that this virus detection has it’s origin with AVG. ;D and Windows Defender is being advised against it :smiley: .
