avast 4.6 home edition (and VPS 0605-0)

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

Since my avast updated, it keeps flagging AD WATCH as having WIN32 Trojan-gen {other}. I have had to alter my settings to ignore the folder that its in as it keeps terminating the program.

Is this a real problem, or just an oversight within the VPS 0605-0 (was fine until this updated today).

Please pack the (mis)detected file into ZIP or RAR, protect it with a password and send it to virus@avast.com (with something like “False alarm” in the e-mail subject).
Thanks.

Welcome to forum! ;D just wanted to say, if you want to keep that picture as avatar, acording forum rules, you’ll have to resize it. So… I made an alternative version you can use. Hope you’ll like it and I see you visiting here not only once. :wink: Best wishes to you.

Cheers for the Pic YLAP, now updated it.

Still having problems, but for the time being, i have excluded the folder in program setting → exclusions and browsed for the folder in question. All working fine (at the moment ;). Thanks for your assistance

:slight_smile: Hi :

  I only know "Ad Watch" as being in one of the pay-for-it
  Ad-Aware programs !? If yes, you should consider asking
  the Experts on the forums at www.landzdown.com .
  This forum is staffed by all the Experts who used to provide
  assistance on the now-defunct Lavasoft Ad-Aware
  Support forums .

Yes Ad-watch is a pay for item. But as all is working fine now and only Avast reports its as tojan then will just ignore for the moment.

fatboy_jt, did you send the file to virus@avast.com, as I suggested?
