Virus alert after last update ???

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
21

Have kinda the same problem - 3 alerts:

Sign of “Win32:Qqpass-DY [Trj]” has been found in “C:\WINDOWS\notepad.exe” file.

Sign of “Win32:Qqpass-DY [Trj]” has been found in “C:\windows\SET4C.tmp” file.

Sign of “Win32:Qqpass-DY [Trj]” has been found in “C:\WINDOWS\system32\notepad.exe” file.

The last one is probably from the bug but can notepad.exe be in ‘C:\WINDOWS’ ???

OS: Windows XP German, Avast - German (all updates)

When is the new, fixed pattern update to be expected?
It’s 07:30PM now and it is totally annoying to have this.

When I try to update I still get “you are up to date”.
Version is still 0643-5 here.

Thanks!

Tom

Hi again,

Problem solved in VPS 0643-6. Great support…

Grtz, SanTM

I tried to force the updating but nothing happens. Why? I still have the 0643-5 dangerous virus definitions. Does the manual update really work?

27

Problem solved here! Thank you for te fast response!

I’m using Windows XP Pro SP1 Dutch, with VPS 0643-5 dated 26.10.2006…
I had the same problem: “Win32:Qqpass-DY [Trj]” has been found in “C:\WINDOWS\notepad.exe” file.
when I tried to put it in the vault, it sais that the file can not be found. Now I updated the latest version VPS 0643-6 but I still have the same problem: I still get the message Win32:Qqpass-DY [Trj]" has been found in “C:\WINDOWS\notepad.exe” file :frowning:
what do I have to do? restart computer? shut down avast? … I don’t know much about computers, is it a real virus or a false alarm?

thanx!!

Nothing happens. The manual update never worked! May be there’s a bug with avast manual update and the limited account?

39

It should work OK with non-admin account…
Maybe your ISP caches the file.

Anyway, you can download “manually” by downloading and executing vpsupd.exe

Great team. When we complain, we complain. When we congratulate, we congratulate.
