Avast causing major problems

[Andy]

Hi,

Well just as I thought I could just get on with things - Avast A/V is now playing up

Three programs that I have written (IWB 2.09) and have been no problem to Avast - suddenly, Avast says they are infected with "Win32:Evo-gen" virus.

So I tried the new IDE

It now says the IWBDev.exe is also infected with the same virus - false positives of course.

I always keep a clean machine!
even tried to re-download the IWBDev again - Avast even stops me when I try to unzip it.

Many people use Avast so it must be fixed somehow.

Any thoughts anyone.

P.S. - Yes if have checked and double check my PC, Laptop and other machines that I use - all have the same issue.

head over here http://www.avast.com/en-gb/contact-form.php report it as a false positive. they will evaluate the program and update the definitions

Yes, report it to avast as copex suggest.  that's the only way to get avast to change their code.
Even though I don't use avast I sent them a small exe to check.

Thanks copex and Larry,

Yes, in fact reporting it to Avast was the first thing I did.

Seems there are many people having this problem at the moment, maybe they will get their act together
and fix this bug.

Andy.
