L2.exe (game Lineage II) - Win32:Trojan-gen {Other}

Viruses and worms

Avast 4.8 Home Edition shows me that the L2.exe file is a Trojan (Win32:Trojan-gen {Other}).
Different programs nothingdetecting.

It is a report around “VirusTotal - Multi engine on-line virus scanner”:

I’m not sure it’s a false positive… are you sure? Do you know to which application that file belongs?
Can you send it in a password protected zip to virus@avast.com ?

Maybe you need to disable Hide protected operating system files and enable View hidden files and folders to manage the file(s).

As a workaround, you can add these files to the Standard Shield provider (on-access scanning) exclusion list.
Left click the ‘a’ blue icon, click on the provider icon at left and then Customize. Go to Advanced tab and click on Add button…
You can use wildcards like * and ?. But be careful, you should ‘exclude’ that many files that let your system in danger.

This file is from the game Lineage II.
I sent the packed file to the address virus@avast.com and I am waiting for the response.

I am sure that the file is clean and I think that Avast is oversensitive in this case.

There isn’t an automated response procedure.
They usually answer by updating the virus database.

When you submitted this to VT I guess it told you it had already scanned this file as the results date from (File L2.exe received on) 09.19.2008 06:40:30 (CET), so that scan is 7 days old

I always have it repeat the scan as there is more likely to have been either more or less detections in that period, essential when trying to gage if it is an FP.

Only in this case it concerns the different L2.exe file.
I mean the starting file of the game Lineage II.
