So I was just running my routine scan of my entire computer this morning. Midway through the scan Avast detects:
Sign of “Win32:Malware-gen” has been found in C:\Programs\PartyGaming\PartyPoker\Uninstall.exe\presetup\IconInIE.exe
The file in question (Uninstall.exe) is what I assume to be the Party Poker software’s uninstaller.
Party Poker is a legit company, and I have had their application software installed on my computer for the past 5 years, using it on a weekly basis. Avast has never picked up anything suspicious about it in the past, it just started on today’s scan.
I’ve also run a full scan with MBAM and everything comes up clean.
How did you send the file, as using the contact-form link that Pondus gave for reporting FPs is usually very quick ?
If it is currently in the avast virus chest you could also send it to the virus labs from there.
In either case make sure that you also give the link to this topic as it contains more information than will be available in the contact-form or send to virus labs submission.
I sent the file using the contact form page on the avast website that Pondus gave. Also referenced this thread as well in the message.
Is there any way to check if they actually received the file?
Not really a way to check, I would try resending but from the chest this time. If it isn’t already in the chest add it to the chest (it just sends a copy not the original) and submit from there.
