Possible False positive?

Downloaded psychonauts from steam earlier today. Avast spoke up saying one particular file was a trojan or potentially one…ive put it in the chest. Here is all the info I got from VT

The file itself is suppose to be involved in the startup of the game…linking it to steam…without it the game will not start up

What Evil lurks in the hearts of man…

go to the chest and export to avast
does look like a fp does in not
you could exclude in avast
thanks

see
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=34950.msg293451#msg293451,
how to report it to avast! and what to do to exclude them until the problem is corrected if you think a FP

Um…perhaps my lack of sleep is hitting me hard…or I cant understand that.

Are you asking if it looks like a valid File path for the file?

no
I’m saying that it does look like a false positive based on the lack of detection from the major scanners

avast and g-data use the same scanner so they together only count as one

did this file come directly from the game download site?
is the site reliable?

you could get a second opinion from jotti where A-squared and spybot scanners are also used

I’m gone in 5 min

Ah i hear ya

Came direct from Steam itself

nite nite

TY for the help Wyrm :slight_smile:

Good morning did you upload that file to Avast?
thanks for helping improve detections
Virus total will send eventually
