I use the monitoring agents from www.r-u-on.com from years. After an update of Avast Free the agents are reported as Win32:Evo-gen and deleted.
I’ve wrote to www.r-u-on.com team about the problem. That’s the conversation:
Anonymous, Date: April 3rd Why some antivirus applications report the serveron.exe as malware? I use Avast antivirus. After an update it has deleted my serveron.exe and reported it as Win32:Evo-gen With other agents no such problem. When i scan the serveron.exe with online scanner on www.virustotal.com there are few more reports that the file contains malware. Where is the true?mike@r-u-on.com, Date: April 5th
Some antiviruses target any executable that can copy itself without. The serveron.exe installation process involves copying itself to the program files directory. Since all the antivirus does is looks for self copying code and our agents are not hiding the fact that this is what they do, it is sometimes flagged as a virus. The way around it is to white list the executable or contact your antivirus vendor to whitelist it.

Please analyze those executables and if they really are clear from malware correct your definitions to permit them to work.
In current moment with definition 130421-0 the agents serveron.exe and neton.exe are not detected already as malware (thank you), but the others - processon.exe, onping.exe an ontouch.exe are still detected as Win32:Evo-gen
