Hi,

Avast has updated to the latest version and definitions, and now I can't
load Fengtao DVD Region + CSS free: Avast says that DVDRegionFree.exe is a
Win32:Trojan-gen {Other} Virus/worm.
VPS version: 080520-1, 05/20/2008

If adding the file or folder to the exclusions list in Avast doesn't
work (apparently it isn't applied for the resident scanner), and until
Avast gets the false positive corrected in their database (assuming it
is a false positive), you'll have to disable Avast while you use the
program.

Have you submitted the file(s) to virustotal.com to have multiple
anti-virus scanners check the file(s)?

To add to this advice...

Have you (R.V.Gronoff) sent a sample to Avast ?

It's the legit file I've been using for about two years now. The thing is,
it works at a very low level to intercept the DVD drives region code and
emulate a region 0 code instead., allowing to play any region-coded DVD in
the PC drive(s).

I doubt it would be legal to email a copy of this commercial software to
Avast or whoever else...

Age of use does nothing to prevent the file from getting infected or
replaced.

It is totally legal! If it was not legal, I would never have mentione4d it.

Avast is not flagging every file, just one or two. Jest send the file(s) being flagged to
Avast.

If it got replaced the software would no longer work. However it can get trojanized.

Assuming it is legitimate, then you should send a sample to Avast indicating your suspicions
that it is a False Positive declaration.

As yet, no one but the OP knows if the files are still working. We
only know that the OP says Avast claims the files are infected.
