Hi David.
Add it to the virus chest and send it to Avast lab as a F/P.
Regards.

Hernan,
I already did that. But figured it couldn’t hurt to report here as well.

No harm done really
If it is your document, surely it is a F/P.

It’s a copy of a technical paper issued by Sophos Labs, dated Sept. 2012, entitled “The ZeroAccess Botnet – Mining and Fraud for Massive Financial Gain”. It’s been sitting in my documents folder ever since I downloaded it. Avast never questioned it until today’s scan.
