That’s what I was thinking. It probably “mimics” actions of some other types of software that might be bad. Sort of like many programs will hit on remote control software due to it’s abilities in the system.
I was just perplexed at the continued warnings (2) after it was removed by me. May be a mystery never solved but at least you have now heard of it happening.
A weak spot for avast in my opinion is the fact that it says it has a “bad reputation” among avast users. Meaning it could be a perfectly good program but just because a few didn’t think it suited their needs they rated it poorly.
Avast may want to look into that. Warning people that a program may be “Bad” based on user reviews instead of actual infection reports, could cost a company like Listango (advertisement revenue) by causing undeserved fear of it simply because a few users didn’t like it for whatever reason. It’s not good when you are trying to develop software and an anti-virus program is labeling it as “Bad”.
Something that might need to be mentioned in this thread for others that look for this problem.
Is the software Listango actually “Bad” for your computer?
Or it just mimics actions of a possibly malicious program but is safe.
Perhaps Avast might want to consider “White Flagging” it somehow if it is indeed a good program and not actively harmful on purpose.
