Yesterday I did a complete scan of my drive and Avast found a Trojan-gen virus in the shared folder of Kazaa. I chose the repair option and at the end of the scan the log said the virus was succesfuly repaired (removed)
One week ago I did a thorough scan and that virus was not there so it must have gotten in in the last few days.
My two worries are:
First Why did the P2P protection not detect this trojan when it was introduced.
And my second worry, which is worse, is that I re-ran the scan on that folder and the virus was still there even though the log said it had been successfully remoded. The second time around I deleted the file and no futher problem.
But it is something to think about.
Thanks in advance

As i see people have problems with trojan-gen. Maybe it was false alarm. I had it today in winrar, as i renewed vps. I sent a “virus” sample, and had a reply that the false alarm will be repaired with today’s VPS. But you should wait an answer from avast team as I can’t be sure for it.
Guess I’m runnunig into the same problems Win32 Trojan.
Have already wiped out my system restore and remove a program because of it… Also related to a RAR compressed file. The ara file checked out ok but after I did the install, I got a notice of a Win32 Trojan in the installation Directory. This problem only started 2 days ago I believe.
Hopefully it’s related to the false positive complaints that i’ve been reading about. ???
Gee you guys are fast. Just got a new update notice and the problem seems to be fixed. I’ve re-installed the program without any further virus warnings. THANKS ;D
Bob, you did not try the beta version… that’s the reason. I’m waiting for Vlk to correct the VPS update of the beta version… :-\
Technical I hope he does that soon for you guys. I know it was driving me a littly batty when it first started to happen… It has however taught me a lesson in what to do if the same kind of thing ever happens again. ;D
