Re: False positive in Avast! or is it real? agree with your take -- seems to have occurred a couple or so hours after Avast! update notice this afternoon. not real comfortable turning it off at this time, but may have to. have also discovered that once you "move to chest," you are no longer able to access shortcut to subject app. nice. |

Wouldn't it be funny if someone hacked Avast! and sent the hacked database so everyone would receive this FP. |

I guess the safe thing to do is switch off avast and your net connection |

I know....No option to "take no action".....However, I just "X'ed" out the window and it closed taking no action. FYI
Interesting. I also got a warning when opening Spybot.
But I had (and used) the take no action button

I'm glad I'm not the only one... It's been reporting Win32:Delf-MZG [Trj] for all my production software that I've been using for years with no problems... I hope avast fixes this as soon as possible... I have an album that is supposed to be released next month...  |

Exact same problem here, Avast found numerous infected files of Win32:Delf-zg [trj] and Win32:Zbot-MKK [Trj] programs included Tuneup utilities, imgburn, AVS Video Converter 6 also don't know what files I have lost but quite a few have gone missing from my desktop. Hope this problem gets fixed soon. Does anyone know if I do a system restore if it will restore the infected files? Think I'll be uninstalling avast and using MSE until the problem has been fixed. |

I am getting the same problem. Everything is a virus. |

Not sure what you would be grousing about if your data is properly backed up and you have a clean image of your system (Ghost or True Image) to quickly re-install when needed. For free software, Avast! is one of the better products around IMHO. System restore is not as important as having a clean image to work with. |

just deleted half my fruity loops install and god knows what else before i realised it was having me on, so annoyed right now, thankfully just reinstalled fruity loops and everything still works. i was ready to throw my computer out the window |

Restore any files from the chest that you allowed avast to put there and then stop the standard shield provider. This worked for me to make my programs run again. |

Wow... This made me think the worst. I was trying to hurry and backup everything but now that I find out it's nothing more than a mistake (It seems anyway) I find this to be bad. This was as bad as their "Explorer.exe" incident a few months back or two. Hopefully we'll hear a word from them. |

Avast updated and started flagging all my security Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, Online Armour, a-2 Anti-Malware etc. programs as trojans and locked up all four of my computers i had to go into safe mode with network so that i could come on here and see f this has happened to anyone else. |

I just started getting the same odd behavior from Avast. I copied a so called infected file to two other computers, one with clamwin and one with Norton. Neither of those detected any infection. Avast is obviously gone senile. |
