OK.

Avast updated itself today as above. After the requested reboot -avast pop-up- trojan detected etc… as above.

Moved suspect file to ‘vault’ and now Yahoo Messanger won’t log in it just keeps erroring.

Completely removed messanger and downloaded a fresh copy- Once installed I got the same ‘avast pop-up’

Is this actually a trojan in Yahoo or a false positive ?

If I google for Win32:Trojano-2949 I get no results at all

Please help

Thanks

Are you saying that even with 0547-4 this problem occurs? Exactly this false positive should have been fixed in 0547-4…
Can you Restore the file from Chest?

OK I have restored the file and performed a dedicated scan on the Yahoo directory -NO ALERT

The only thing I can think of is that Avast has updated itself again since I put the file in the chest.

All working OK :slight_smile:

Thanks
