MSI Control Center False Positive?! Help!

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Today Avast Free has started blocking CCAM.exe (The process MSI Control Center uses to start up) as “Win32:Evo-gen (Susp)”.

I decided to try reinstalling the program (which was a bad idea in hindsight), but now Avast is blocking the installer when it tries to install CCAM.exe.
I use this program to control all my case fans and have for years, I need to fix this as soon as possible!

Thank you,

  • C.

EDIT: I’ve since added the folder to exclusions, so I have it running again, but I would like to confirm that this is a false positive.

Thank you, I’ve reported it. And yes, I did search the forums first, but while I did find references to “Win32:Evo-gen (Susp)” being involved in a few false-positives, I did not find anything involving MSI Control Center.

Thanks again,

Ok, now it is up to avast to solve it.
Could be it is already solved in the latest vps update.

As far as for the searching, I mend on how to report a false positive.
I should have more clear about it, sorry.
