Win32:Trojan-gen. {Other}?

Hi, I have the latest Version of Ares “A P2P App.” and as soon as I opened it AVAST! alerted me with TcpIpPatcherDll.dll as being a Trojan. Any Ideas on this? I sent it to chest.

There has just been a large VPS update so it might be the cause.

You could also check the offending/suspect file at: VirusTotal - Multi engine on-line virus scanner I feel virustotal is the better option as it uses the windows version of avast (more packers supported) and there are currently 29 different scanners.
Or Jotti - Multi engine on-line virus scanner if any other scanners here detect them it is less likely to be a false positive. Whichever scanner you use, you can’t do this with the file in the chest, you will need to move it out.

If it is indeed a false positive, add it to the exclusions lists (Standard Shield, Customize, Advanced, Add and Program Settings, Exclusions) and periodically check it (scan it in the chest), there should still be a copy in the chest even though you restored it to the original location. When it is no longer detected then you can also remove it from the Standard Shield and Program Settings, exclusions.

Also see (Mini Sticky) False Positives, how to report it to avast! and what to do to exclude them until the problem is corrected.

Thx, DavidR.

I figured it was anyways. I uninstalled Ares by the way. Didn’t need it anymore.

If you still have a copy in the chest (there should be a copy even if you restored it), send that it may help others.
