avast 4 deems this as a virus, but not until today… have had avast for about 1 year)
It’s a program for silencing my cabinet fan.
My gut reaction was to put it in the chest, for later restoration(which I did), but after restoration I haven’t got the administrative rights to run the program anymore…
(I have admin rights)
This is the scan of the file openfan.exe from within the chest:
Scanning of selected files
Action was completed successfully!
Virus has been detected!
File Name: openfan.exe
FileID: 9
Virus Description: Win32:Small-CPI [Trj]
Has It suddenly been infected, or is it something with avast 4?
Btw, there aren’t any other probs with my machine. It’s always very tightly run.
If it is indeed a false positive, add it to the exclusions lists (Standard Shield, Customize, Advanced and Program Settings, Exclusions) and periodically check it (scan it in the chest), there should still be a copy in the chest even though you restored it to the original location. When it is no longer detected then you can also remove it from the Standard Shield and Program Settings, exclusions.
