hello!
does anyone uses autoit3 (http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/)??
since today, avast tells us, there is a trojan in the exe files of the compilation.
if i wrote a single-line-programm the alert is still alive.
any idea?
PS:Mail to virus@avast.com is on the way
Pretty sure this is a false positive that has been discussed before
The search function at the top of this forum may give some more information
oh…
discussed before??!?!?!?! ??? ???
but, what can i do now.
if it discussed. is there any solution?
i need the autoit3-files…
thx for answering
If you take the time to use the search function as suggested all !!!

SEARCHING is GREAT. … if i know the correct search-word ;D
whe have the false-positives since today.
the simple solution is great for some pcs, but i have MANY PCS.
so handwork … ;(

The search term I tried was autoit and it returns many hits, relating to this problem of autoit scripts being detected.
This is one of the most recent http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=18719.msg158649#msg158649.
I would suggest sending it to virus @ avast.com zipped and password protected with the subject ‘autoit false positive after 0614-0 VPS’ and a brief description of the problem, possibly a link to the thread here and include the password for the zipped attachment in the body of the email.
If it is indeed a false positive, add it to the exclusions lists (Standard Shield, Customize, Advanced and Program Settings, Exclusions) and check scan it periodically using the ashQuick scan (right click scan), when it is no longer detected then remove it from the exclusions.
