Avast Detected Panda Active-Scan File???

I just installed and ran a full-system scan of avast 4.7.8(Home edition) and to my surprise it found panda-activescan's file...
I am posting the screenshot below..

 

It's a well known false positive made by Panda.

thanks for d help..

 

If a AV software detects a harmless file as virus then the fault is with the
AV not the harmless file. Its called False Positive. The link TAP provided
deals with a different issue.

 

Very strange, especially due to the fact that Win32/CTX is a polymorphic, entrypoint obscuring (by replacing eg. jump after the EP) combination of Worm/Virus. Avast should have made here at least a PE Characteristic Check to determine if it's a DLL or a EXE. There's no need to go hunting in DLL's for this virus, since it will never infect one based on the fact that the virus cannot deal with variable image base addresses (that's hardcoded and they do not make any get delta ala CALL $5 check). Besides scanning for this virus and trying to determine the EPO call in DLL files is rather silly and brings down the scan speed performance.

 

IC, can you sneek peak the file? Alwil guys are saying that it's getting detected because Panda Software guys aren't encrypting that file properly.
Donno, this thing is around for very long and i still don't know for sure whatss going on lol

 

Nothing against Avast but they only explained why Avast is detecting viruses
in pav.sig which is the signature file. But they didn't explain why Avast is
detecting viruses in other files also. Apart from pav.sig, all others are FPs.
The link TAP provided has misleading details.

 

yes,they have clearly written in the page provided by tap,that they can't do anything about it and plainly asked not to switch to any other AV...
quite a strange reply..
