The Suffering possible false positive

I downloaded The Suffering (free game) from Gamershell.com and avast is detecting Win32:JunkPoly when I try to start the game. This is an ad supported game which is why it’s free so I think avast is picking up the ads in the game. I uploaded the file to virustotal and here are the results: http://www.virustotal.com/analisis/306acad9335e14376006f229ca2a0748 . I had a similar thread a while back about avast detecting the ads is PsiOps-The Mindgate Conspiracy (see here: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=36474.0 ). Last time I was asked to email a zipped copy of the suspected file so let me know if I should do that again. Thanks.

If it is indeed a false positive, which it certainly seems, yes send a sample to avast,
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.

Thanks for the quick reply DavidR. I just sent the email. For now I’ll add the file to the exclusions list of the standard shield.

Be used to avast forum speed :wink:
Welcome and thanks for reporting.

You’re welcome.
Hopefully it will be quickly rectified, periodically scan a copy in ght chest when it is no longer detected you can remove the exclusions.
