I got home and got a phone call from my brother.. he got a half dozen FP's tonight. I started my computer & Avast gave me a few as well.
Annoying. Hope they fix it by tomorrow with a new update.
Avast has another update. Downloading and installing the very latest update cures the Trojan FPs.
Yeah, that was annoying, huh? I was thinking of uninstalling McAfee from my primary desktop machine in favor of Avast Home Ed. But now they have this glitch --- my laptop goeth crazy with Alarms. I don't like alarms, I just don't have the TIME!
They were quick to fix it, though. Nice they put out their own fire in an expeditious manner. Couldn't have been a few hours (?) Well done, that!

Like Intrepid2006 said - they fixed it in a hurry... :o
Took approx 5 hrs for them to realize they had an issue, fix it and then distribute it. Not bad IMO. http://support.avast.com/index.php?_...barticleid=377
If you had a problem from this FP issue, first, manually update to the latest definition set and then restore any of the FPs that you may have encountered. See this page for details... http://support.avast.com/index.php?l...barticleid=376
I can't start Avast to restore my FPs. Avast says it can't load the "skin" for the user interface.
The following 2 Windows system files got quarantined by Avast as FPs and I'm wondering if that's causing the Avast skin loading problem, plus I'm noticing some instability on closing browser windows too:
/Windows/system32/YSys.dll
/Windows/system32/SysCheck2.dll
I've tried system restores using multiple checkpoints but all have failed ("incomplete restoration"). A bunch of my restore files got quarantined too, which might explain that.
What should I do?
Try reinstalling Avast in safe mode. Also, if you're running Windows XP, try a system file check...

That may replace any system files deleted and allow you to do further repairs or unquarantine any files still missing.
