Hide Folders Program

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

For some reason the Avast program is saying that there is a virus/worm when ever I try to run my Hide Folders program. I never had this problem before and I have some very important protected with this program. I uninstalled the program and when I tried to download the program again its giving me that same
waring. Is this a false positive or not.
I hope it is. Otherwise, how am I going to un protect the files that are protected???

Hello grog4444

  1. which is the file that avast is detecting as virus/worm. state the file name in the format drive letter :\folder name\file.extension ?

  2. could you upload the file to virustotal.com (VT), wait till the process is complete and post the vt link here.

3

Well, at the site its detecting the exe file for the program which is in a zip file.
I don’t know why its doing this now!!!
Can I use the zip file at the site you mentioned or do I have to unzip it???

4

upload the zip file itself.

5

When I went to that site you mentioned I get a message that says that the file has already
been anyalzed and it doesn’t say anything about the file.

6

gimme the link to that page.

7

Sorry, but I had to delete the file and reboot my computer because it was acting strange since I tried messing with that file.

8

I found another copy of the file so let me try it again.

move it to avast chest and then:

right click tray icon >start avast! antivirus, let the user interface load > right click on the user interface > virus chest > user files > select the file that was added by you > click on the email to avast icon > select false positive. do a manual update.

the false positive(fp) will be fixed if it is fp.

The first time I did a check of the file it showed 0 problems but when I rechecked the file it showed 3 files, all making reference to Wind32:Induc.
Did you see that???

There is no need to use any util/application to “hide” folders if you are using Windows 2000 or higher.
The os already provides you with security options like that.
Learn to use the OS you have.

dont worry.

upload the file to avast using chest and do a manual update as i posted. after today’s virus database update, scan the file in chest and if it is no more detected then you can safely extract it and run.

15

I really like this program!!! I hate to use Microsoft related programs or applications unless I have to.
I have no idea on how to secure files using Windows XP.

16

Well, the first thing you told me doesn’t work.
Nothing happens when I click on the email to avast icon.

17

select the file in the chest which is to be uploaded. if you have added the file manually to chest then it’ll be in user files area. else it will be in infected files area

edit : see pic.

18

Sorry, but still nothing is happening when I click on email files to AVAST.

19
