Ensure that you have the latest virus definitions update as I believe this detection has been corrected - 110301-2.

Also see http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=72687.msg605765#msg605765.

Can you confirm then that this is a false positive ? As it has appeared on my machine in the last hour I was on 110301-1 and I have now upgraded I am have only in the last day upgraded to SP1 also so all seems consitent with what is being said on the forums. But if I have a virus on my machine in means I would normally wipe it for security reasons. The last scan I ran was 5 days ago and all clean, and I don’t want to have to put in the 6 hours work rebuilding my machine for false positive :wink: . Can you confirm that

Would be a false positive if you were running Windows 7 SP1 and Avast Program Version 6 and earlier version of the virus definitions that 110301-2… It would save me working all night to rebuild my laptop for tommorrow at work.

Have the version 110301-2 installed and started the service “Microsoft .NET Framework NGEN v4.0.30319_X86” again. After approx. 2-3 minutes the same problem happen. The trojaner message appears and the CPU is highly loaded by the service above.

I can confirm that it is a false positive.
Make sure you have the latest reference file update.

I’m sorry, I’ve just updated but I did not get rid of the problem.

Thanks it makes a difference in my life. I cannot go to work tommorrow without making sure I am on a clean system. No work = No pay. But from what I have seen and the amount of people on here. Looks like Avast have a small issue with SP1. Hopefully by the time I wake up tommorrow it will all be fixed.

I have “Microsoft .NET Framework NGEN v4.0.30319_X86” service Disabled.

SMF lacks “merge threads” feature I guess?

12

My best guess is that the mods let go too :smiley:

13

Has Avast fixed this issue with a data base update as yet?

thanks

14

No.

15

Have they (Avast) any idea when this will be fixed? Others are saying that update 110301-2 has fixed this problem but others say it hasnt…I have done full scans once I noted that I got this virus on a brand new Laptop win7 Pro SP1 Avast 6 but nothing found again so far. Is it a false virus or is it a real one therefore needing to do a complete recovery of this new laptop? thank you
