Acronis True Image 2012. My Avast antivirus has detected Malware
Dear friends,
My version of Avast Antivirus has detected some malware within the Acronis program and I'm not sure how to handle this; there are many false warnings coming from antivirus programs, but being my Acronis Backup such an important process to me, I just wonder if any of you have received similar warnings and how you treated them.
If you look in the options I get from the antivirus, I can delete the offending item, move, repair or ignore. I chose to ignore it for the time being, but I need to know if this can or is a certain false warning or on the contrary if I should remove the "icut381.dat" file.
Please check the screen shot I include and send me some feedback.
Best regards,
Spanish Flyer

@spanishflyer,
Virus definitions and hueristics can sometimes cause valid (safe) files to be incorrrectly identified as potential threats. If it is a false positive, you should also be able to add the files being detected incorrectly to an exception or ignore list.

IIRC, Avast incorrectly identified ATI as a virus several years ago. After a few such reports, Avast staff admitted the bug in their forum, and corrected the issue in a later update.
You might want to post about this in the Avast forum.
