Trojan.Fakesig Please help!

Hello, i’m new here, so please have patience with me.

I have both Avast-Pro & Malwarebytes-Pro versions installed and my Malwarebytes detected this:

C:\Program Files\AVAST Software\Avast\sfzone\avutil-51.dll (Trojan.Fakesig)

I quarantined the file and Malwarebytes keeps detecting after removal, so i just left it quarantined. Can anybody help please? Thank you.

There is at least one other topic about this.

The detection has been reported as a false positive in the MBAM forum.

The avast self-defence module should be protecting this file.

Malwarebytes just through up the red flag about the Avast Trojan.Fakesig on me also. I also have Avast pro and Malwarebytes pro…

Hi xtreme1 and welcome to Avast! forum

As DavidR said above and I reported it here:

http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=106560.msg849063#msg849063

It is a false/positive that MBAM is working on it.

I feel so much better now knowing it’s a false positive. Thank you all so much for your help.

You’re welcome.
