Trying to slipstream SP3 onto a dell windows XP prof installation disc.
When copying installation disk to hard drive I get a malware warning for (C:\XP:\dotnetfx\setupdb.dll)avast sent it to the virus chest…
Is this really malware or am I confusing avast by putting this on the hard drive?
Thanks

C:\XP:\dotnetfx\setupdb.dll

I will say that I scanned the CD and avast also found it and reported it as a virus…
Bit worrying - I would have thought that the cd would be read only - so shouldn’t be contaminated with anything unless it came out from Dell like that …almost 10 years ago now…

well only detected by Avira in that scan…

i would say this is a False Positive yes…

Thanks again - these things send me into a panic …
Shall I report it to Avast as a false positive? At Virus total avast isn’t detecting it …but it has twice on my system…(and it is up to date)

you can do it here http://www.avast.com/en-eu/contact-form.php?loadStyles

and you may add a link to this topic

you can also do it from chest if the file is there…right click the file in chest and there should be a FP option there…
