i have just done a scan and noticed a file in a game i have installed on my computer has been reported as a Win-32 Adware-gen threat.
I then unistalled the game and tried to do a fresh installation from the orginal (genuine copy) disc and it reported it with the same infection (the infection being on the cd), this game is years old and i have had it on my computer for ages running without any problems so i presume it is a false positive.
The infection was supposedly the uninstall file.
There were problems with the uninstaller since 2004, read here: http://www.xpbulletin.de/t20768-0.html (use GoogleTranslate). Could you upload the uninstaller executable to virustotal.com and give us the results?
Wait for some-one to give a somewhat more detailed response…
The results you gave makes a FP by the avast scanners (GData also has one) very likely, so update the file in question to avast and wait until they correct it with a next iAVS update. The likelihood of a False Positive is even bigger here, because this is a generic find, so it might have partly suspicious characteristics that are flagged while the executable may still be fully benign (could have various reasons like the way the executable was obfuscated/packed/protected, etc. etc).
You can also exclude the file from scanning until the detection is being corrected,
