Hi,

Avast has updated to the latest version and definitions, and now I can't
load Fengtao DVD Region + CSS free: Avast says that DVDRegionFree.exe is a
Win32:Trojan-gen Virus/worm.
VPS version: 080520-1, 05/20/2008

RVG

If adding the file or folder to the exclusions list in Avast doesn't
work (apparently it isn't applied for the resident scanner), and until
Avast gets the false positive corrected in their database (assuming it
is a false positive), you'll have to disable Avast while you use the
program.

Have you submitted the file(s) to virustotal.com to have multiple
anti-virus scanners check the file(s)?

To add to this advice...

Have you (R.V.Gronoff) sent a sample to Avast ?

virus@avast.com

I doubt it would be legal to email a copy of this commercial software to
Avast or whoever else...

It is totally legal! If it was not legal, I would never have mentione4d it.

Avast is not flagging every file, just one or two. Jest send the file(s) being
flagged to
Avast.
