Hi!
From time to time, avast decides that almost all Winrar SFX archives are “infected” with some vage “evo-gen” virus. This is TOTALLY bogus. Can someone PLEASE FIX IT!!!
Usually after a while, it is fixed, but will come back again (like now).
W32:evo-gen [[b]susp[/b]]not virus yet .... but suspicious. ;)
if you think this is wrong…
You can upload files and report issues to avast here : http://www.avast.com/contact-form.php (select subject according to Your case)
You can use mail
send to virus@avast.com in a password protected zip file
mail subject: False Positive / undetected sample (select subject according to your case)
zip password: infected
or you can send files from avast chest
how to use the chest. http://www.avast.com/faq.php?article=AVKB21
Every time I face this issue, I report the false positive. It usually gets fixed within a few days. I just don’t know why it comes back again after a few months. It’s really annoying, avast deletes or blocks SFX archives I use/create for no reason.
