I am quite sure that Astral Tournament does not include a World of WarCraft keylogger, nor does my E: drive system volume information include the same trojan.
I checked both with Norton, and it does not give a positive. So quite clearly they are false positives. I hope the developers read this forum & this topic and update the software quite soon for these false positives of the WoW keylogger Win32:Wow-FXM [trj]
Avast has reported 3 false positives for me today as well.
The files are all in my ViaMichelin folder - the software for my SatNav device. They have been on the computer for 6 months and Avast has never flagged them before. Virustotal.com confirms that Avast is the only program to detect the files as a Virus.
Something in the latest update must be causing this.
What I have noticed is Avast and AVG… two of the most widely used Free AV programs, both notoriously give false positives on virtually every Keygen, patch, crack it finds. Now before you all say oh cracks, keygens etc are usually Trojans. This is not always true. Even ones I know for a fact is clean are being flagged. If I was a conspiracy theorist, I would say this was buy design. In an attempt to curb the use of these programs, Avast and AVG deliberately ID them as Trojans. If this is true, the problem I have with this, it is intellectually dishonest. You offer program to perform a certain function…and it covertly and falsely ID’s a specific type of file Avast tells it too. Today it is keygens…tomorrow it can be any file someone pays Avast/AVG to ID. Hmmm, I bet most software companies would love to have their competitions software chronically ID’d, by an AV program. Also, AVG/Avast seem to be the only two AV prgrams that do this. The AV programs I’ve paid for don’t. Now its flagging Nvidia Drivers Installers as being trojans…thi sis getting rediculous…
Now its says my nvidia drivers I downloaded form nvidia is a trojan, so are my Quick Cam drivers, this things sees a trpjan around every corner. I’ve had at least 15 false trojan alerts today.
