i have used tfc temporary file cleaner for a couple years now, i have always had the tfc trash bin icon on my desktop, but yesterday when i clicked tfc desktop icon i received a malware warning from avast. Win32.Malware-gen
so i went here http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/files/file/187-tfc-temp-file-cleaner-by-oldtimer/ and downloaded it again and i got the same warning.

i have read other places that avast doesnt get along with tfc but it has always worked well for myself without warning. does this have something to do with the virus definitions update?
windows xp sp3
avast program version 5.1.864
virus definitions version 120526-0
comodo firewall
hello and thank you all for responding i just dont understand how i used it for 3 years without warning then yesterday i get a warning. tfc from what i can tell doesnt install or update and bleepingcomputer recommended to use it, but after seeing that virustotal i will no longer be using till things go back to normal
This isn’t the OP we are talking about as the topic is three and a half years old (26 May 2012), but a post by jcollura3 today and it wasn’t stated when, etc.
