AVAST antivirus STILL showing a false positive on our website

Well, here we are more than two weeks later and AVAST still says our website contains a Trojan virus. This despite several e-mails and reports, and a detailed discussion on their support forum.

Here’s the REALLY funny part: If you have AVAST activated and you click the software download link on our website, AVAST will report a Trojan. Now, if you temporarily DISABLE AVAST, download the file, RE-ENABLE AVAST and then use it to scan the VERY SAME FILE, if comes up CLEAN – NO virus report.

I guess if you are using a free antivirus you should not be surprised…

Our recommendation is to buy yourself a proper antivirus package. The majority of systems are very competitively priced today. We use ESET NOD32, but you can use Kaspersky, Panda, Trend, Bitdefender or whatever.
