Hi All,
Avast.. (and GData, which uses Avast).. are incorrectly reporting Bit Che's packer as a trojan. This has happened before and they are usually pretty good about fixing their false-positive hits, so we shall see.
In the meantime.. as Joe has pointed out:
1. You need to use the Exclusion lists:
For the Standard Shield provider (on-access scanning):
Left click the 'a' blue icon, click on the provider icon at left and then Customize.
Go to Advanced tab and click on Add button...
For the other providers (on-demand scanning such as the screen-saver or the Simple User Interface):
Right click the 'a' blue icon, click Program Settings.
Go to Exclusions tab and click on Add button...
Add all of the items listed below. But the most important one is "Bit_Che.exe".
2. Please send a "false-positive" report to Avast so that they can resolve the problem. Thanks everyone!
Compress the file in a zip folder and send it to virus@avast.com.
Here are the Modules required for the exception list, and also to .zip up and send to the AntiVirus company for the false positive report.
1. Main application:
%programfiles%\Bit Che\Bit_Che.exe
2. Support modules:
%appdata%\Convivea\Bit_Che\scripts\x.exe
%appdata%\Convivea\Bit_Che\scripts\update.exe
%appdata%\Convivea\Bit_Che\scripts\special.exe
EDIT: I dont use Avast, so I dont know is simply adding the abbreviated path names will work, as shown above, or if they will need to be converted to the actual path.. (ie, C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Convivea\Bit_Che\scripts\x.exe). Can anyone confirm or refute this?
Thanks,
