Hello.
My Miranda NG instant messanging program found version updates to itself and one of its add ons. However, as soon as I ask it to install the updates, Avast falsely detects miranda32.exe (Execute file of the program) and one of its addons (HistoryPP.dll), as Win32:Evo-gen [Susp], and don’t lets me to ignore this false positive alert.
Please take care about this!
Win32:Evo-gen [b][Susp], [/b] and don't lets me to ignore this false positive alert.i would not Call it False Positive as it is detected as Suspicious ;)
You can upload and report FP to avast here: http://www.avast.com/contact-form.php

or you can send files from avast chest
how to use the chest. http://www.avast.com/faq.php?article=AVKB21
I attached the messages that Avast popups when I open Miranda NG.
I can’t do the uploading, as I don’t know exactly on which file he think that it is a threat, as scanning the said files that appears on the alert box on demand, resulting in no threats found regardless if Miranda NG is loaded or not. Avast only alert on them on access, when I starts Miranda NG.
Otherwise, I could sent the files for analysis throguh Avast itself.
Update: I updated the virus definitions now, and it seems that the problem was solved.
Thanks.
Looks like avast team is working hard on evo-gen,that is why these false positives ;D
