Lately I have been frequently getting these pop ups. Our virus specialists have been working on this problem and they informed me that this detection is correct. I recently downloaded Avasts free program to put some security. But in most cases, it the file identified as Win32:Malware-gen is really a virus. Win32:Malware-gen might sometimes indicate false positive. "Re: Avast: False positive file utvideo-21.1.0-win.exe [ ref:_00Db0Z3Sf._5000N29imYy:ref you for contacting Avast.

I just received an answer from Avast after sending them a false positive report related to utvideo install package malware detection.Īfter analyzing the file they do confirm that it's not a false positive but instead they confirm and maintain the indication of the presence of malware in the file in question. PDF The continuous development of evolving malware types creates a need to study and understand how. McAfee-GW-Edition Īs anyone additional information about this situation.Is it still possible to use this very good codec with confidence? The last version 21.1 0 is detected using with the following problems
VideoHelp do say it control with virustotal all the tools hosted but indeed this one is detected by this tool and it seems in this case the screening has somewhat failed. Could also be some kind of unwanted contamination in the distribution process. This is a quite good codec that keeps improving and it's a shame if the author as decided to include adware or malware. My Avast anti-virus cut the network connection and don’t even let me download it, if I however insist to continue it cleans it from my system and put it on the virus chest.
Not sure if they are false positives or if they are real threats and the last versions of this good codec do indeed integrate adware to say the least. The last versions of utvideo have been increasingly been detected by several antivirus with adware/malware/Trojan issues.
