I let it quarantine the tftp server program. It's pretty old, so I'm downloading the latest version, and I'll see if Avast will let me install it. If not, I'll be upset. I'm about 99.99999% sure this was a false positive.

Hey Mark,
I just updated my Avast (to ver. 4.8.1201) and upon restart, it flagged my Superantispyware as a Trojan. I didn’t find anything on the Avast website so I sent them an email.
I’m also not sure if it is a false hit or a valid flag. I’ve been running Avast for over a year with no problems. This might not amount to much but two weeks prior, I got hit with the AWOLA virus. YES, Avast was installed and running. After researching and installing Superantispyware, I was able to eradicate the AWOLA virus.
I guess we will see how this turns out, but conspircy theorists would have a field day with this one.
Why would I, (why the xxxx Should I) remove superantispyware when it eradicated an attack that Avast didn’t detect OR even prove a remedy for.
rant for now,
