False Positive: Ad Muncher

Viruses and worms
1

Virus def’s as of July 11th. says that admucher.exe is a Win32:Trojan-gen {Other}. It is not. It has not changed in a month. I have been in contact with the developer. Please fix this false positive.

It seems to be a false positive on the lastest build of the 12th ( Ad Muncher v4.72 Build 30400/2021.)

I had the same problem with admunch.exe being detected as a trojan. My wife moved the file to the virus chest and I had to reinstall the program this morning. The installation executable Am-install.exe was also flagged as a virus. I submitted the file Admunch.exe to Avast. Admunch is SAFE… I have been using it since 2003 and as you said, the file hasn’t changed in over a month.

I installed admuncher with avast protection disabled and thought it was fine ,however avast seems to be stopping it loading with windows every boot.No doubt avast will fix this shortly.
