F/P: MCShield as Evo-gen

Viruses and worms
1

Avast (definitions 13-04-17-0) is having an issue with MCShield (2.6.3.21) today…

Avast’s file shield is objecting to MCShieldDS.exe, alleging it is “suspicious” - Win32:Evo-gen [Susp]
This occurred both when McShield was trying to load at bootup, as well as each time I plug-in a flash drive.
Yet, when I ask avast to scan the file, it reports that the file is clean! (How can it have it both ways?)

for what it’s worth, here’s a link to Virus Total’s analysis, several of which have “generic” Trojan issues with this file https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/6cfcf9d73bc70ad8b1e064cd71efe5974fe95003646ec516767a5b002a804ff3/analysis/1366195390/

I have been using McShield for several months now, and this detection never occurred before today.

I have submitted a copy from my virus vault [which shows the “clean” analysis rather than the Evo-gen detection].
