Advanced SystemCare 15.0.1.125 Install problem

[rollsjohn]

I downloaded from IObit website latest version as above but after installing Avast antivirus blocked ICONPIN64.exe with message:

iconpin infected.

Tried uninstalling then downloading from majorgeeks and re-installing but same warning message from Avast.

Is there a solution to this or is it a false identification of a threat?

[Scannan]

It is a false positive. You should just put it in the Avast ignore list.

Thanks, scannan - I'll do that.

I have the same issue.  Is there a way to install ASC without Driver booster?

[Scannan]

What has Driver Booster got to do with installing ASC??

[Nedstand]

As best I can tell, Driver Booster gets installed automatically with ASC.  I'm a long time user of ASC and every time there is a new version of ASC, Avast pops up this infection warning.  When I Google ICONPIN64.EXE the results say it is a component of Driver Booster.  I did not install or license Driver Booster as a stand along product, but I am able to uninstall it using iobit's Uninstaller.

I could be wrong, but everything I see leads me to think Driver Booster gets installed along with ASC.

Driver Booster does not get installed automatically when installing ASC.

You must watch the checkboxes in the installation UI of ASC....there may be checkboxes to install Driverbooster when installing ASC.

If so...ensure they are unchecked.

As for Avast....it is a false positive....put ASC in the Avast ignore folder..or just ICONPIN64.EXE...which is causing the issue.

I don't see any checkboxes as this is an automated upgrade from prior version.  Most recently, I got a pop up saying V 15 was available, and I only clicked to install the upgrade.  During the upgrade Avast then pops up the warning.

I submitted a false positive report to Avast so hopefully they will add ICONPIN64.EXE to their list and not quarantine it in the future.

you could temp disable Avast then install ASC. if Avast throws up the warning just add it to the white list (if it has one) . or uninstall Avast and use  Advanced SystemCare Ultimate.....
