I read the following on freerepublic.com about an hour ago. Avast False Positives
Posted on Thursday, December 03, 2009 1:43:24 AM by BulletBobCoI 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?

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? John
