I keep getting win32 evo-gen reported on when I download and run this file:
MeadeLX200GPS(5.0.0)Setup.exe which is a driver for a meade telescope from the ASCOM site:http://www.ascom-standards.org/Downloads/ScopeDrivers.htm
I don’t believe this to actually be infected.
upload suspisious file(s) to www.virustotal.com and test with 40+ malware scanners
post link to scan result here for us to see
None found.
none found what/where?
0/46 detection ratio on virustotal.com
None found I assume that means.
OK

I seem to have the same problem with a false alarm regarding an executable game file namely PES 5 ( a soccer game which I have been playing for 5 years) and today avast blocked this when I attempted to enter the game, you have more details in the pic below. I mention that I attempted both solutions proposed in the popup but with no effect. I also performed a test on virustotal.com and there were no detections.
Please tell me what can I do now, I am addict to this game. ;((
Hi I am having this issue as well. The program in question is called ADPCM Player v1.44h by FastElbJa and I have used this program for many years. It is used to manage and convert audio and music from video games. Now today I went to use it and Avast flagged it as a win32:evo-gen suspicious file and moved it to the chest.
Here is a scan from virustotal for ADPCM Player: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/ac605500220d5e58a3ab5843990e168fe8d88e21486c6873550504de1d323aa9/analysis/1363720771/
It only has 1 out of 45
Why is this great program suddenly a virus? Please help. I sent this file to the Avast virus lab as a false positive. I have also done what the person above me did but to no avail. I did change some settings in Avast but it still said it was infected.
Here’s a picture of what comes up when I run it:

Sorry about the quality but the error wasn’t showing up in my screen capture program so I had to use my camera.
I’m running XP with Avast Free edition version 8.0.1485 with Virus definitions 130319-0 , release date 3/19/2013 4:51:52
Thanks.
It should be fixed in next stream update.

Meanwhile my problem was solved (I don’t know how) but now I can open that game without any troubles.
I also got today the same message for a program I have been using for several years (hquote.exe which is a download program of stock quotes from finance.yahoo). I did the scan and got the following result:
https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/23b2867ffef283f81ad8c21f0c93ec53213e492948984befe547c8eb499bfd35/analysis/
Out of 41 scans, only CAT-QuickHeal is reporting " (Suspicious) - DNAScan 20090825 "
Avast is automatically putting the program file in quarantaine even though I excluded the file from the list of files to be scanned.
Can you please help?
I also have this problem with a autoupdate utility. I have sent the link to the avast contact form, but if it will be like the last submission i will never have any response.
The virustotal scan shown that the file is clean, even with the avast, but if i zip the file and put it online when downloading it, i get a ugly warning and avast will block the file.
Report: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/5644f09bdf530b06203c0f8181a8377dc6951c323d5708691112473abd3aed85/analysis/1417959385/
. I have sent the link to the avast contact form, but if it will be like the last submission i will never have any response.Most important must be that the FP is fixed ..... or?
