Win32:FakeAV-EZ[Trj]

Not sure if anyone has come across this yet but after updating Avast is flagging a Spore (EA Game) .exe as a virus. I have the game on two different drives and it flagged it on both drives. I’m assuming it’s a false positive but just checking to be sure. I uploaded the file to virus total and the analysis is green across the board.

I also ran a scan with an updated Malware Bytes and nothing was found.

Adress: virus@avast.com Subject: False positive

Right click on the file in virus chest and choose send to virus lab,then choose False positive in the form.

Done. Is it safe to say this is a false positive?

To find out, upload the file to www.virustotal.com (if tested before, click new scan)
Post link to scan result here…

This is definitely a false positive.

I think this will be fixed very soon. :wink:
