i think that is a false positive. fmloader is a crack of football manager 2008 that without avast it works fine.
is detected as Win32:Autolt-AF [trj]
can you fix this with next update of definition ?
Well a crack is a highly risky thing to use and many come with embedded malware/trojan, who are you going to complain to when you are using a crack.
You could also check the offending/suspect file at: VirusTotal - Multi engine on-line virus scanner and report the findings here. I feel virustotal is the better option as it uses the windows version of avast (more packers supported) and there are currently over 30 different scanners.
If it is indeed a false positive, add it to the exclusions lists:
Standard Shield, Customize, Advanced, Add and
Program Settings, Exclusions
Restore it to its original location, periodically check it (scan it in the chest), there should still be a copy in the chest even though you restored it to the original location. When it is no longer detected then you can also remove it from the Standard Shield and Program Settings, exclusions.
Send the sample to virus@avast.com zipped and password protected with the password in email body, a link to this topic might help and false positive in the subject.
Or you can also add the file to the User Files (File, Add) section of the avast chest (if it isn’t already in the chest) where it can do no harm and send it from there (select the file, right click, email to Alwil Software). No need to zip and PW protect when the sample is sent from chest. A copy of the file/s will remain in the original location, so any further action you take can remove that.
sometimes avast doesn’t save exclusions. why?
I have never had that happen so I can’t say why.
Though there are times when you don’t enter the exclusion in the correct one or both exclusion lists (on-demand and on-access) as indicated in my post. So I can only think that because it isn’t working (excluding the file from scans) that you think it isn’t saving them.
So we need a little more information on exactly what it is you are doing ?
ok now is saved. thx for help.
Your welcome, what exactly was the problem ?
The answer may help others in the future should they use the search function.
is detected as Win32:Autolt-AF [trj] but is not a virus…
when i disable avast this file it works fine… now i have added it on exclusions option.
That is why it is important to confirm i isn’t a virus at virustotal and if only avast detects it to semd the sample to avast so that the VPS can be corrected.
Please, help correcting the false positive detection sending the file to virus (at) avast.com and explaining it’s a false positive.
From time to time the AutoIt executables are false detected :-\
