Question:

Avast Anti-Virus has False-Positive Update for one or more Chilkat ActiveX DLL's

May 08 '13 at 08:31

Chilkat is receiving many emails from customers today about a new Avast Virus Definition update that incorrectly identifies one or more Chilkat ActiveX DLL's as a virus. If you experience this problem, you should report the false-positive immediately to Avast. The quickest way for something like this to be resolved is for an Anti-Virus vendor to receive many complaints about a false-positive.
