Today i get the virusupdate “0643-5” and the programversion “4.7.892” after the restart of my PC, Avast tell me that i have an Trojan on my Computer. He say Notepad.exe is infected and the dllchache notepad.exe or so.
So i let him remove it to the container. After that i go to Jottipage there i let test the 2 files again but only Avast found there the virus all other say – nothing found. –
So, now im thinking thats maybe an false alarm of avast. What do you think?
Ahh avast exactly say :
Sign of “Win32:Qqpass-DY [Trj]” has been found in “C:\WINDOWS\system32\notepad.exe” file.
and
Sign of “Win32:Qqpass-DY [Trj]” has been found in “C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache\notepad.exe” file.

Noooo… I’ve the same problem! 2 PCs on different networks were updated and immediately alert about this infection. I think there is a bug into latest updates, so please let us know about it…
I hope technical support will reply us soon to receive a confirmation about this problem.
Same here. It’s probably just a typo in the latest library, since avast thinks the notepad.exe is the old notepade.exe that the old QQpass trojan used to create.
If you tried to let avast quarantine or delete the notepad.exe file, you’ll probably find that you’ll cant open the notepad form the exe under \windows\ even with avast shutted down from the task manager.
To solve that issue before the next library update and fix, you’ll just need to overwrite that notepad.exe with another, working one, and, of course, leaving avast processes closed in the meanwhile.
