ASC notified me today that there was a new version of Flash Player. As soon as I clicked on 'update' Avira decided that virtually any files associated with ASC contained a Trojan TR/Decep.IObit.** and shoud be quarantined.
I thought that something had infected ASC so I ran a full scan and then ran Malwarebytes which seemed to confirm my suspicions as it identified all ASC files as needing to be quarantined.
**See seperate Post re Malwarebytes identifying ASC as a PUP in error.**
Once I read the posts in this forum I realised that Avira was identifying a false positive. Unfortunately it is notoriously difficult to tell Avira that a file is OK. You can list it as an exception and it will still quarantine the file.
So I swopped to Avast.
This post is intended as a heads-up for anyone else experiencing the same problem and also for IObit so try and rectify.
