Bad Iobit products? Avast results [SOLVED]

[ShadowZone]

I have been having the same problem with Avast! it detected almost all of the files in my Security 360 folder as a virus and i have also been unable to reinstall just in case since it also detects the installer as a virus. normally i would assume this to be a false positive but the iobit security option to scan things in the context menu is now really messed up.

 

I uploaded the filesweep.dll onto virustotal and it came up as a trojan (Win32:Delf-MZG) for both Avast and GData

Hi ShadowZone,

That is strange. I am running IS 360 with Avast and have had no problems.

It is strange. I think it has something to do with the updated definitions for avast but i am not sure. Its not just my computer either, since the same thing showed up on virustotal.com

Hi ShadowZone

 

We have contacted Avast to solve this issue as soon as possible. Also this is an urgent issue because not only our products have been false detected by Avast, but also many other softwares. You can go to Avast forum for more information http://forum.avast.com/.

 

We appreciate your support of IObit.

I also use Avast and get the very same thing, Now I cant do anything, it wont let me uninstall, reinstall and it says the Win32:Delf-MZG is in alot of dif files Im not happy

[ShadowZone]

That's exactly what happened to me, i think it was avast's blocking that messed up iobit 360, for the mean time i am uninstalling avast and going to try reinstalling 360.

Thanks for the help krissy, hopefully this will get resolved quickly, i actually like avast

Bad Iobit products? Avast results

 

What is going on? I can't run ASC, Smartdefrag, SmartRam. Had problems with IS 360, uninstalled got it with Avast warnings.

Happened to me to

 

The same thing happened to me also, needed to reload the programs, but avast kept stopping me, needed to shut off Avast to reload programs for iobit.

Dangit!

 

This really sucks real bad. I had friends and family call, email, text and whatever, pretty ticked off at me for recommending IObit products. I old everyone all will be fine soon. Things are looking not too good right now.

Just installed IOBit 360 Security

 

I just installed IOBit 360 Security suite yesterday. I'm a new customer. This has me extremely worried and concerned.

 

I'm running Avast v4.8-1368 and today virus warnings start popping up all over; all of them pointing to IOBit360 files. Is there a way I can ensure IOBit is legit? If it is, is there a way to ensure I'm running legitimate IOBit software? I can't remember if I downloaded from CNet or from IOBit directly.

 

Unfortunately, for this being my day 1 experience; this has me seriously considering going back to and putting up with McAffee.

 

I'm heading over to Avast website now to see if I can get more information.

I checked out the Avast forum. After the latest update it seems that it is finding the same false positive trojan in everything from IObit, Adobe, to Spybot! What a nightmare!

Don't go back to McAfee

Hopefully soon an update will fix this mess. It's not IObit fault, Avast! is going bonkers with other legit programs.

Proteblem is with latest avast update

 

If you can get on the Avast forum, you will find that the last update was bad, and problems are popping up all over. Guess we will have to wait and see what Avast will do today?

Wishing you a speedy recovery Avast

Thanks for the info, I can't even get to the Avast forum as it always times out. I'm not having any such problems with other sites.

I guess they are experiencing a huge traffic jam at the moment

 

What a thing to wake up to, I hope they get it worked out quickly.

I don't use Avast anymore but I still like Avast and have recommended it to many.

I too have had avast show a trojan with ASC3 under win32.Delf-MZG[trj]... I trust Iobit completely so I chose to send this as a false positive. At least I know my AV is doing its job!!

Avast DB

 

Data Base just updated and I restarted my Online Armor firewall which was being flagged, problem appears to have been resolved. Life goes on.

The Avast False Positive issue has been fixed.

You can read the statement at the Avast Forum in the thread Win32:Delf-MZG false positive was fixed in the latest VPS - 091203-1

 

pyrath also reports that the issue is fixed after an Avast update and restart
