Avast doesn’t like the following file:
C:\windows\system32\activescan\imscan.dll
Avast detects this file as Win32:Kuang2
I may be wrong but I think that .dll file is for the Panda online scanner. I must have used the Panda online scanner sometime in the past.
Yes it is false positive. And a damn well know and not limited only to avast!. Stupid Panda grrr :
Check the avast! help file where this issue is documented.
I wish Panda would either encrypt the virus signature file or people stop using Pand’s on-line scanner. This forum is littered with numerous false positives due to Panda’s virus signatures flie.
I had similar problems with Panda on-line scanner… many people reported same thing, Panda people do nothing to change that…
Never ever had problems with Housecall, still using it on regular basis and I can recommend it to everyone anytime.
Cheers !
I can’t figure out why I ever used the Panda online scanner in the first place. I usually just use TrendMicro’s Housecall when I want a second opinion on a scan. I went ahead and let Avast put the file in the virus chest.
Panda does not encrypt its’ virus signatures and therefore most AVs see the 'ignature" as a valid virus.
I don’t think we ever were able to determine why the do not encrypt them.
I think it may have something to do with the way the file is packed/unpacked.
Here is the list of Panda Antivirus files that avast! detects as infected:
IMSCAN.DLL
PAVDLL.DLL
PAV.SIG
APVXD.VX2
APVXD.VXD
Check the Avast website for more info on this Panda thing.
So then, why DOES everyone use it? 
Not any longer. Not after being tarred and feathered because the board is littered with this topic. How do I get all this tar off me?
Use House Call. ;D
