The avast filed system shield continually pops up with a blocked threat and moves the file to the chest. This is a file associated with MS Money which I have been using for years without issue. Here is exactly what the pop up message says:
Object: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Money\System\mpiad.dll
Infection: Win32:Evo-gen [Susp]
Action: Moved to chest
Process: PID 1772
The threat was detected and blocked when the file was created or modified.
I cannot run MS Money without this file, so I have no choice but to all it to the exclusion list. But, I am afraid that is not safe. And when I restore the file from the chest and right click it and scan it, it shows no threat found. I am afraid to use MS Money now. I have completely blocked all MS Money programs in the firewall from internet access. I am hoping this is a false positive since I have been using Avast and MS Money for many many years.
Can anybody please help with this issue. I am brand new to this forum so if this is posted in the wrong place, please advise.
thank you very much for your time. I have taken advantage of both links you sent me.
I appreciate that you read the post and took the time to reply to it.
Thank you.
If you get any kind of a resolution, please post it. I have had the same problem for the last three days (after years of NO problems) – I submitted the file to AVAST from the ‘Virus Chest’ but have not heard anything back. Thanks for any help.
I do not think I have actually gotten a “resolution”. But the virus scanner link says the file is most likely safe. I did submit it as a false positive, but don’t know what will come of that.
The results of that scan are here:
