Avast detects two files(which are 50mb and 71mb in size) as FileRepMalware, but when I scan both files on Virustotal, they both come clean, even with latest Avast database.
Here are Virustotal results: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/7fdf11b1964ac7a5ff47b3eeed6e9e6f4a94a638eed8db55ba7c8e9a99a90f15/analysis/1457051596/
and second file link:https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/a837ed7a2edd526096e85ffd4ba1ecd150e803f2b372e83adafcb4d82d3af60d/analysis/1457050912/
Thanks
FileRepMalware :
It blocks files downloads if these conditions are all met:
- The file is not prevalent enough, ie. not enough Avast users tried to launch the file yet,
- The file is not signed or Avast does not trust the signature.
- The file was not added to our cleanset.
For DomainRepMalware there is also this :
4. The domain is not prevalent enough, ie. not enough Avast users tried to download (any) files from the domain yet,
Hi all! This indeed is a false positive. It should be fixed in the next virus database update or streaming update.
Thank you for reporting and sorry for the inconvenience!
