:-[ Download the new messenger tonight which has the DAME. Has any one else had this problem and how do I get rid of it???
Welcome tot he forum holdengirl_75.
I hate to show my ignorance, but which messenger did you download (Windows, Yahoo, MSN, AOL …) and what is the DAME?
I assume that holdengirl is talking about a possible False Positive on a version of messenger (?), as in Virus name: DAME (Dark Angel M.E.) as in one of the three references to DAME Dark Angel in the virus database.
You could also check the offending/suspect file at: VirusTotal - Multi engine on-line virus scanner Or Jotti - Multi engine on-line virus scanner if any other scanners here detect them it is less likely to be a false positive. You can’t do this with the file in the chest, you will need to move it out.
If it is indeed a false positive, add it to the exclusions lists (Standard Shield, Customize, Advanced and Program Settings, Exclusions) and periodically check it (scan it in the chest), there should still be a copy in the chest even though you restored it to the original location. When it is no longer detected then you can also remove it from the Standard Shield and Program Settings, exclusions.
Also see (Mini Sticky) False Positives, how to report it to avast! and what to do to exclude them until the problem is corrected.
Time for another cup of coffee. Different time zone and all …
I have mine black and strong, sounds like a good idea whilst we wait for a response from holdengirl_75 ;D
