I'm getting a trojan horse alert with Avast with a .dll textbook file, win32:delf-mzg. I also got a warning when updating the latest beta, so I aborted the update.

Can you please confirm if this is a false positive or not so can download the latest version?

Thanks

Just got the same thing.

There was an Avast client update not too long ago, probably has something to do with that.

EDIT: Avast giving me false alarms on some other programs too.

Received the same alert.

- Just did a full update to a new version of Avast free today.
- I used Hold'em Manager later on in the day and it worked with out any alerts.
- I don't believe my PC has been restarted since the install
- Launched HEM just now, and received the same alert in original post
- Using Windows 7 Evaluation Copy Build 7100


Thanks,
Andy

Nothing new to add, just seconding this. I played earlier today w/ no problems w/ avast updated mid-session, and now it popped up when I started the import.

I too feel the same ... it occupies a few hours without problems, now I try to import my hands and skip avast ... try updating the HM but I also skip avast update with a warning ... antivirus and still the same ....

This is a false positive from a HUD file. That file hasn't been updated since August. It is used to read text from the chat boxes for the live tracking.

Our HUD developer (and me also) have reported it to Avast.
