lol I got the same thing…

“Avast, … protecting you from itself since 1988”

Bet your ass that screen shot is getting posted… “everywhere”.

Time to check out that top av scanners site again. Never had any of these false positives with MS Essentials.

MSE is complete garbage. Horrible detection rates. Check out http://www.av-comparatives.org/.

I’ve been using Avast for about 8 years and I’m about ready to switch over to Kaspersky, it’s not free but it’s excellent.

I do not like version 9 of Avast…at all.

So is this fixed? What was it? False positive or was there a Trojan downloader in the update file?

…same here!..before I format and reinstal Win7Pro with AVAST.2011…I get this infection message about win32…TRJ when I download the Avast update!..now is ok.

It should be fixed yesterday already. It was just false positive.

Glad it’s fixed. I removed Avast from my main system, installed Kaspersky. Maybe if Avast comes out with a version next year that doesn’t suck I’ll come back to it, until then… ciao Avast.
