[WT-support] Wintest 4.2.0 flagged as Virus by AVG

[Rich Hallman - N7TR]

Symantec also trips on this file....Ive set the directory to be ignored
in scanning and real-time.  A fix would be nice....but workarounds are
available.

I've just purchased WT 4.2.0. Unfortunately AVG free says it is infected
with Win32/Themida.

I'm presuming that it probably isn't infected and AVG is just flagging
it as a false positive. Has anyone else seen this and is there a work
around?

 

Yes, this has been reported on this reflector many times within the past
few weeks, and it is a false alarm.

One work-around is to run wt_dev.exe from
http://download.win-test.com/v4/nightly instead of wt.exe (which will be
very hard to replace now if AVG has quarantined it).

Others have simply chosen to uninstall AVG completely.
