False positives on WinAce 2.6 Self-Extractable archives

VPS 0603-0, 15/01/2006

Self-extracting WinAce archives are seen as “Win32:Trojan-gen. {Other}”

I have attached my C:\BOOT.INI file compressed with WinAce 2.6 with self-extract module wgui_en.sfx (Win32 GUI English), renamed to .txt (so .exe.txt)

I get the same thing…

Wich is really annoying because i have over 500 self executable program in my pc, i tryed to exclude them without any luck.

But i was wondering if there was anything out to fix this…

The message i get is Trojan-Gen’Petite" on ALL of my zipped files…

Sup wit that man?!?!?!

oh…

i see that were not the only ones lol…

You revived a thread almost a year old, so it’s hardly relevant.

What is your VPS version? Does it still happen with the latest one (0645-1)? If yes, please pack a few of the files into a password-protected ZIP or RAR and send it to virus@avast.com (with a subject like “False positive”). Thanks.
