After the last update I had Avast flag Taskman.exe in my Security Task Manager (by Neuber) as w32:Aimbot. It totally deleted the program and won’t let me re-install it. I downloaded a new setup with the same results. I tested the file with others- TDS3,
The Cleaner, Counterspy, Spyware Doctor and Ad-Aware with none finding anything.
I know that there is a bad Taskman.exe file but how do I keep it from flagging the Taskman.exe in Security Task Manager? I have used Avast and Security Task Manager together for awhile and have not had any problems until now.
If you are getting a virus warning that you believe is a false positive, then if you can zip and password protect (‘virus’, will do) the suspect file and send it to virus @ avast.com (no spaces).
Give a brief outline of the problem, the fact that you believe it to be a false positive and include the password in the body of the email. Some info on the avast version and VPS number (see about avast {right click avast icon}) will also help.
You could also check the offending/suspect file at: 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.
It was false positive. It is fixed in 530-3 VPS update, that is available for about hour.
