I just loaded Avast and installed Parallels on a new Mac. I created a new Windows 7 VM from scratch. I took a snapshot and immediately was notified by Avast that there was a virus found:
File - /Windows 7.pvm/Snapshots/{fbac51cf-ad6e-4518-a252-36c006736fe9}.mem
Virus - Win32:Patched-HO [Trj]
Should I exclude my VM directory from realtime scans?
Thanks!
Hi,
You should submit that file as it seems to be FP.

Yes you can exclude the snapshots from scan.

The file is over 300 MB so I can’t really upload it for analysis.
You can use our ftp://ftp.avast.com/incoming/ but I am affraid that this type of files has no structure – it’s only memory dump.
