Did you actually submit this sample to avast for analysis ?

What version of avast Pro are you using, 4.8 or 5.0 ?

I will assume avast 5.0, here.
You could also check the offending/suspect file at: VirusTotal - Multi engine on-line virus scanner and report the findings here the URL in the Address bar of the VT results page. You can’t do this with the file securely in the chest, you need to extract it to a temporary (not original) location first.

Create a folder called Suspect in the [b]C:[/b] drive. Now exclude that folder in the File System Shield, Expert Settings, Exclusions, Add, type (or copy and paste) C:\Suspect*
That will stop the File System Shield scanning any file you put in that folder.

i run avast pro 5.0 i tryed excluding it but it wont as i cant get the correct file path

You get down to folder level in the exclusions using an explorer style selection. Either that or do as I suggested in the post and copy and paste C:\Suspect* into the exclusion.

Read through the instructions again and take it a step at a time.

thanks david R worked a treat :stuck_out_tongue:

You’re welcome.
