3 Successive tried and DL'ing from your website Avast has pegged and prevented the DL of AU

Screenshot here trojan = win32-ircb ot DGY [trj]

On further review Avira also sees this trojan (irc bot) embedded on your website download links - all of the regular AU utility links are compromised. They are not False Positives. You might want to address this and fix them ASAP.

We will check the issue and contact Avira if needed.

Note, that the setup files of AU are digitally signed, so they can't be compromized.

We use NSIS installer (a popular installer used by WinAmp) which can also be used by any trojan program. So some antivirus tools can think ours is a trojan too. We will check it ASAP.

hi

A quick note ; we tried the online scan of Avast but it says it is clean.

Hi Hari, I will try to clarify further and see if it's just Avast .. but it does appear that regardless of where I try to download AU Avast flags a trojan.

By the way - Avast still flags it regardless of the host.

Here's another example of what avast is currently flagging on another website. Same thing happens when I try to download on the acelogix site. here's another screenshot

Here is a VirusTotal scan of Aufull.exe which I just downloaded from the AceLogix website. It looks like Avast is the only AV detecting anything. Probably a False Positive.

Yes, this is why I revised a few of my posts - i'm scanning with Avira right now again just to be sure that nothing is there. Previously I had Avira on this machine (testing) and it also flagged AU just like Avast except Avast caught it real time on during the http download whereas Avira flagged it (along with the FP on superantispyware and spyware blaster) in a regular full system scan.

I have the latest Avira Premium Security Suite on my system and it is set to the highest security settings. It is not flagging any downloads from Acelogix.

Yeah I have Avira premium back on this machine and no flags - so Hari may want to email/contact avast and see what's up.

Can you please check again ? We uploaded new version of AU (with the FireFox3 fix). Sometimes these small changes can help.

Yes Hari I will tomorrow after getting back from work try again with Avast and let you know.
