If you scan through just this forum over the past few days, you will see how many people are reporting false positives, including me.
The reason I am pissed off is because I am a software developer, writing software for 20 years, and this past week we have had to spend considerable time supporting our customers after avast corrupted and broke our software because it claims it is some “suspected” malware without any cause. This is specialized software for the insurance industry that is code signed with authenticode signatures from a CA. I thought I was alone until I came to the forum here and found lots of people complaining about the same thing. Avast is breaking, corrupting, and removing legitimate software from computers.
So if Avast thinks it is cool to make people distrust us by telling people our software is malware, then I think it is fair to let people know what kind of “security” product they are installing on their computers. It is so secure, it won’t even let your legit programs function properly.
