RTF:Obfuscated-gen [Trj] on our own database file?

Viruses and worms
1

Hi,

We’ve only recently found that avast reports a threat on an upgrade exe file that we produce ourselves and distribute to clients. It says the threat is in a .BLB file which is 1 file of 3 that make up a database table (DBISAM). Obviously it’s not a threat as it can’t be run anyway, so why is it reporting this and how do we stop this from being reported as a threat as we can see this affecting our clients? This definitely wasn’t being reported as an issue a few weeks ago.

Regards
