Hi, these days when i use avast on demand scanner to scan system folders , avast will often report that ‘c:\windows\system32\dllcache\fltmc.exe’ as Adware-gen [Adw] , and this file seems to be a part of windows (version 5.1.2600.2180 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)) , i hope avast support team can fix this fp.
thanks.

Can you please pack the file into a password-protected ZIP or RAR (e.g. using “virus” as the password) and send it to virus@avast.com ?
Thanks.
