That wouldn’t be “Win32:Evo Gen [Susp]” would it?
From everything I’ve been reading, the “[Susp]” part implies “a suspicious similarity to many samples of malware that have been reviewed by some kind of program Avast uses to try to distill out the essence of malware”. Unfortunately you’re not alone in seeing this false positive.
That said, I’ve reported a false positive, then found that a later update no longer detected it. It does point out a gaping hole in Avast’s strategy though… For so long they’ve been so good at finding actual malware that they’re really not set up to allow customers to deal with false positives very well.
