I am getting the same alarm, and it renders Digital Photo Pro’s lens adjustment function inoperable. Is there any workaround? I think that this is an erronious detection.
You could also check the offending/suspect file at: VirusTotal - Multi engine on-line virus scanner and report the findings here. I feel virustotal is the better option as it uses the windows version of avast (more packers supported) and there are currently over 30 different scanners.
If avast is the only one reporting this then send the sample to virus@avast.com zipped and password protected with the password in email body, a link to this topic might help and false positive/undetected malware in the subject.
Or you can also add the file to the User Files (File, Add) section of the avast chest (if you didn’t already send it to the chest) where it can do no harm and send it from there (select the file, right click, email to Alwil Software). No need to zip and PW protect when the sample is sent from chest. A copy of the file/s will remain in the original location, so any further action you take can remove that.
If it is indeed a false positive, add it to the exclusions lists: Standard Shield, Customize, Advanced, Add and Program Settings, Exclusions
Restore it to its original location, 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.
just tried your weblink. Only 2 out of 32 scanners “found” the trojan inside (see below). Seems to be a false positiv.
I also mailed the file from my chest to avast.
