Does this “some kind of malware” have a name?

Have you tested file at www.virustotal.com

@polonus: thanks!

Avast identifies Win32:Evo-gen .

@pondus: Thanks, I ran it through virus total and got a 100 point safe score!

So not malware but suspicious. Win32:Evo-gen [susp] = suspicious

Report it here. https://support.avast.com

maybe because of the very nature of the program (hard drive interrupt access or something?)

if few use it, or it was just updated it may be detected as suspicious

Hi anderg,

Suggest you update the file to avast or post it to virus@avast.com and see what they report on that detection.
