I Beta 3, I am getting false positives on Task Manager, Windows Explorer and images.
Beta forum is here http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=15.0
I’m not sure this is a beta related issue unless the detections are some of the new features, so we need more information.
On what scan or shield ?
Can you give details of the detections, e.g file name, location and malware name ?

The windows Task Manager. Windows Explorer, saving a .gif file. I was not getting this prior to 7.0.xxxx
The important elements of the question remain the file location and probably most important the malware name given on the detection. Nor what scan or shield that was responsible for the detection.
The fact that you weren’t getting this before avast7 is irrelevant as essentially it uses the same virus definitions as avast6 (and they are regularly updated), that is why I mentioned:

OK it is the Auto Sandbox Feature that is doing this.
Never mind I just changed the settings to Ask. All is well now! Thanks.
