So I went to open pandora radio like I always do, and avast! Flipped out and deleted the entire thing. I am thinking this is a massive false positive
AVast said the virus name weFileRepMalware, no clue what that means. Rana boot-time and a malwarebyted scan since, no issues.
Submitted a report, going to reinstall. Any idea why avast acted so?
Any help appreciated
going to sleep, any help appreciated
weFileRepMalwareFile with a low reputation

or you can send files from avast chest

well considering it is an insanely popular app, I did the submit thing built into avast. The low repuatation thing deeply confuses me to be honest
Reinstalled Pandora, started it and nothing happened this time. Scanned both the installer and the new .exe. Nothing. Really no clue why avast! flipped out
unfortunately
not have access to the file
if possible upload the file to mediafire or storage service and a screenshot of detection.

perhaps this is the reason
