I have been running DirectFTP 6.2.0.62 for a while now, but after a recent update of my Avast! anti-virus program, i get a warning that DirectFTP contains malware named 'Win32:Delf-MZG [Trj]'
Should I just ignore this and continue to run the program?
I can't update to the latest DirectFTP, as it doesn't recognize my old OS (Win98)
Malware in DirectFTP?
I would be willing to say go for it Dan, I am pretty darn sure that's a false positive, and you should probably contact Avast and let them know this also. They can probably verify it if it tells you which files are being detected as malware, but I'm very sure there's no malware in any of CC's software
We e-mailed Avast on this issue last week. This was their response:
Hello,
false positive was fixed in new VPS update (091203-1).
Sorry for any inconvenience.
