Hello I just tried downloading the print driver for my new (used) Cannon i860 printer i860 (v1.73e Printer Driver for Windows XP) and Avasts detects it as a dropper-gen virus.
I believe it’s a false positive and I send a request for review.
I was able to download the software after disabling Avast for 10 minutes.
Could someone confirm this is a false positive? :o
Thank you/Gracias.

It looks like only Avast and Kingsoft see it as a threat.
