Re: Avast detected Trojan in Jaws

I read the following on freerepublic.com about an hour ago. Avast False Positives

I have Avast free anti virus on a computer and have seen what appears to be some false positive trojan horse hits. Has any other Avast users seen this?

Subject: Avast detected Trojan in Jaws



I just went to open Outlook and Avast has come with an alert. Supposedly a
Trojan called Win32:Delf-MZG [Trj] was found at C:\Program Files\Freedom
Scientific\Shared\OOMHelper\1.0\OOMHelper.dll. This is clearly a JFW file
and I wondered if Avast was making an error due to inaccurate
classification. Has anyone else had this alert?
