Avast reports trojan found in JA's Doch exe

Post by Graham Banks »

After the latest Avast update, I all of a sudden have this issue. It won't let either of my gauntlets involving Doch resume. How do I overcome this problem (assuming it's a false positive)?

Cheers,
Graham.

Have you scanned with another program.
Maybe you could contract the Avast people.

I use Avast also. I will download Doch and see if i get the same
results.

Best.

program.

Hi,
I have had the same problem here: Match was stopped and AVAST reported malware in Arena 199b4 :-)

After restarting the pc there was an update of AVAST - no I have no more problems here.

Hi Werner,

I'm glad that you're also okay running Doch now. :)

Cheers,

Come to think of it - I run AVAST and I did not have any issues with Doch.
