Avast! Eve-Gen False Positive

Hello avast! dev. team,

Avast! detects the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (aka FRST.exe) as threat via Eve-Gen [Sysp] behavior routine.

The Bleeping Computer’s FRST’s official download links where also marked by avast!.

Please see attachment and remove this generic detection.

Thank you.
Regards,

have you reported it here? https://support.avast.com/ > avast virus lab

I’ve reported via avast contact-form. Now, I’ve reported via this form as well but it seems to me that the source is the same.

I’ve posted here as well because it is important to us to know when is FP removed.

bump!

The avast! (ver_150125-0) still detects the 32bit version of FRST Tool and BC’s download links.

Thanks
