Quote - Still trust avast far more then DAZ.

Once again I reiterate. If you get a virus warning from a non DAZ piece of content would you pause your anitV to install it? Then why do it for DAZ content?

 

And once again I say to you the same as as I said before. I visited the Avast Forum, and found a lot of people were having this problem, and it only happened after  we received an actual Update of the program itself, rather than the regular virus definitions updates.  And It is happening to other than Daz installers, which I also mentioned before including flagging up my old version of MS office as a suspicious program. a version which has been installed and running on this computer since I bought it. :rolleyes:

If you follow through on the install it does not tell you that it is a virus, merely that it cannot indentify it, and it offers you the chance to install it anyway if you wait a wee while, till that bit comes up.

It is indeed something to do with the Heuristic algorithms that Avast is now using, which are set to "Paranoid" mode as someone else has mentioned. Heuristics do not guarantee that an optimal solution is ever found.

If you Really want to investigate how paranoid Avast has become nowadays, ask BobbyStahr how many times I have asked him about what turned out to be false positives whilst searching Renderository freestuff.

My PC Files unfortunately are still .exe's 8("

 

At the moment, yes only the Mac files are showing as zips. It is not a small job converting in excess of 14,000 products to zips, and at the moement there are other priorities. :rolleyes:
