Yesterday Avast started detecting that a file on my PC was a Win.32: Trogen-
gen. virus. The file name is HoverKhook.dll and is used by a program called
HoverSnap. Which is a ScreenShot capture program. I have been running this
program along with Avast for several months with out a problem until
yesterdays update.
False Positive maybe?
Hi,
please send in the file to avast; read here as to why and how:
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=12408.0
To know if a file is a false positive, please submit it to JOTTI and let us know the result. If it is indeed a false positive, send it in a password protected zip to virus@avast.com
Please, mention in the body of the message why you think it is a false positive and the password used.
By now, you can add the file to ignore list or send it to Chest until further analysis…
I bet it’s a false positive…
I ran it through. Avast is the only engine that shows it as a “possible” virus.
I sent the virus zipped up with password to the support group along with my comments.
Ok. Thanks. It should be a false positive as we have a huge update of this kind of worms signatures yesterday…
How do I add the file to the ignoe list?
