avast! detects A-Trainer as Win32:Dropper-gen[Drp]... True threat...? - PHO

Pokemon_Master · 16th June 2014, 09:04 PM

Hello PHO. I'm really annoyed about this. Each time i open A-trainer avast will detect it as a virus. Is it a true malware or just a false alarm?
I tried the repair option but it fails. Only the move to chest and delete option work after scanning that file. Pls help

I have Avast and also have this problem. The best I can tell, it is just a false positive as malwarebytes claims the file is clean and I have never seen any negative side to just running AA-Traier anyway. I just temporarily disable Avast so I can launch A-Trainer and just make sure I re-enable Avast when I'm done.
