Avast detected Windows Update as malicious

Vista? > update if not mistaken Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 Service Pack 2 (2943344) (Important)

I run Windows 7 (x64)

Yes.

HUH ?
Are you saying MS should change their Patch Tuesday update schedule based on Avast definition updates ?
???

Guess I got it correct. Take a look at the technet link I posted earlier. It states which KB is for which OS.

No that is not what i am saying.....

Then what are you saying ?

go back and read my post again … edited

As long as everything is fixed once the definitions have been updated, I’ll try not to worry too much over which Windows update is causing the issue (it seems to be more or less the same problem for everyone). All the other updates installed smoothly. :slight_smile:

I will monitor the update though. The link for the KB2943344 following: This update resolves a vulnerability in the Microsoft .NET Framework that could bypass the Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) security feature if a user goes to a specially crafted website.

Same for the Windows 7 version I had issue’s with. I just hope EMET 5.0 mitigates this issue till the patch becomes installable.
Avast is not flagging the updates for Windows 8.1 Pro (x64) Tested this on a Microsoft Surface Pro tablet PC.

For the record the .NET updates for Windows 2012 Essentials without Avast runs just fine. So it is Avast issue for sure.

After this FP warning I was not able to install KB2937610 (update for NET framework 3.5.1).
Finally,after fifth attempt,update was installed successfully.Of course I had to disable Avast during WU installation.
Thank you Avast.

OK, now with your edit I understand your answer (and intent) …
thanks,

It’s a bit off to find my post on this issue has been removed. I started writing it before this thread started. I did have a question about the .tmp files that were moved to the virus chest.

I wonder now why I bothered.

Thank you for the info, CaptainLeonidas. I’ll just use my ipad till the Avast! update is released.

Update is out (140812-2). Time to test the waters again…

Update:
All good now

Patch installed on Windows 7 (checked)
Patch installed on Vista (checked)

Installed beautifully for me too. phew :slight_smile:

Good. hehehe. My VMware Workstation 10 with the Windows Vista guest is a little slow.

Vista sometimes needs an extra cup of coffee. :smiley:

No problems observed on 8.1

I already mentioned this in Reply 28 hehehe

So what do we do with all the files in the chest now?
