Viruses and worms

Hello

I have run my avast antivirus and it founds 3 virus on my computer … WIN32:Kuang2 and 2 times WIN95:Matyas.
I have deleted them successfuly.
But … on a forum I saw this post : it’s telling that I should not have them deleted because avast was aware of the problem … COuld you confirm ? And what can I do now they are deleted ?
Thanks for your reply :slight_smile:

info importante pour les utilisateurs d’avast

après un scan en ligne avec trend micro (secuser) ou panda, avast vous détecte les virus suivants

virus: Win95:Matyas
c:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\pav.sig

virus: Win32:Kuang2
c:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ActiveScan\imscan.dll

virus: Win95:Matyas
c:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ActiveScan\pav.sig

vous n’êtes pas infectés par ces virus, ne supprimez pas les fichiers concernés, c’est un problème connu d’avast

hi,

this are “false positives” due to unencrypted PANDA-AV-files;
If you REALLY want to, reinstall panda (online) AV, but be prepared to get the warnings again.
you could exclude the files from scanning both in the mainscanner and in the AVast shield

Avast sure is aware of the problem, but like many other AV-companies, takes the stand that this is PANDA’s problem/fault (imho correct).
so there probably won’t be a “FIX” for it soon

:wink:

OK. Thanks for the answer :slight_smile:

What if I have never had panda installed on my computer? Does the online scan from panda site add these during its small progrm install that enables it to run the online scan?

Yes, I think it does.

Jovy, you can see some more details here:

and don’t forget to turn off system restore and then turn it back on again, otherwise Kuang will be detected again.

I can confirm this.

HELP!

I just encountered the same problem with the "false positives on:

virus: Win95:Matyas
c:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\pav.sig

virus: Win32:Kuang2
c:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ActiveScan\imscan.dll

virus: Win95:Matyas
c:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ActiveScan\pav.sig

When they appeared during the scan, I had them put into the Virus Chest.

Now I need to find out how to get avast! to allow me to restore them from the chest.

Thanks for any help you might e able to give me!

I think this thread pretty much covers this as a problem relating to some online checkers’ virus pattern files that are downloaded (and some of the patterns recognised as viruses) pre-scan and left behind
