Agas Posted July 22, 2010 ID:288807 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Hi,Malwarebytes is detecting Avira's avcenter.exe as a trojan (trojan.agent) on folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Avira\AntiVir Desktop. I sent the file to Virustotal and only 2 antivirus say it is a virus. Is this a false positive?Malwarebytes sent the file to quarentine and now i don't know if Avira is working as it should.As a remark, neither Superantispyware, Windows Defender or Spybot flagged that file and my computer is running fast without problems.What to do?Thanks.

swagger Posted July 23, 2010 ID:288814 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Just got the notice myself 10 mins ago that avcenter.exe in folder C:\Program Files\Avira\Antivir Desktop\ was infected on my XP SP3 machineEDIT:It appears Antivir was trying to update when MBAM flagged it.

Agas Posted July 23, 2010 Author ID:288820 Share Posted July 23, 2010 For me it started this morning. Never happened before. Glad i'm not alone, it's probably a false positive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swagger Posted July 23, 2010 ID:288821 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Definitely an FP, but it's good to get these things reported Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Swagger is using 9 also. The avcenter.exe file is different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
