I am having this same issue as of 1330 CST, Brand new computer reporting this Trojan in the Gobi wireless software on an Lenovo X1 Carbon. Definitely a false positive, need it fixed too.

if you think so, right click file(s) in chest and report to avast lab as FP
I have two computers that just started showing this same issue with the business edition. I have submitted a file from TortoiseGit that was showing as being infected.
We also are having a wide spread report of this happening on our college campus. It seems like it started at the same time the latest definition came out. Thinking a bad set of updates are the cause.
Same is happening to us. First report was at 11:49am PDT. I’m getting multiple notifications reporting various files as infected by Kryptik-PFA. Most of the reports are saying that it’s our KACE KDeploy.exe agent that is infected.
We even called Avast and we were told they can’t help us and we need to submit a ticket. We said we think it is due to the update and its a false positive and they said then you can write a exclude statement for it. Since it is flagging tons of files, that would be a endless battle. If you guys have not created a ticket yet, I would suggest putting one in so we can have extra pressure for them to fix the latest batch of updates.
Same version here also: 150506-3 Anyone come up with anything besides adding exclusions, which as was posted is an endless battle because its different files on each machine.
We’re getting it on dozens of machines and hundreds of files as well, so excluding or reporting the files will do no good. I have a feeling that cleaning up after this false positive will be more work than cleaning up an actual trojan…
Getting tons of these on ALL of our Avast protected systems and started with Def Upd 150506-3 and is causing a nightmare and mass panic all across our University. Even showing up on PCs that were imaged clean just now. As soon as Avast is installed on a new clean image it starts alerting that it is infected by “Win32:Kryptik-PFA [Trj]” virus.
Hurry up Avast. Need a fix. Our PCs are unresponsive during this. So, we are out of business until it is fixed!!!
Same thing here at my company… Three computers started showing they were infected with this same bug a little over an hour ago… After seeing these posts about it being an FP, I forced another computer to download the definition update and sure enough, it started having the same issues as the other computers…
