False Positive with mwavscan

[verndogz]

Is there an exclude list for mwavscan? It gets a false positive for zlib.dll, a component of our accounting software. I can reinstall the file, but mwavscan will continue to remove it (I have it scheduled several times per day). Please get back to me asap.

Thanks,
Vern

Hello Vern,

This is indeed a false alarm and this has been corrected. You will get this in the next updates. Try taking the updates and check the software by tommorow.

I have the newest update (in download escan update it says last update received 17 Oct 2008, 14:51), but it still deletes the file. Is there a hotfix I need or was it not implemented in this update yet? Please get back to me.

Thanks,
Vernon.

Hello,

Please try checking the same now. Hopefully the updates must not have reached you by then.

Please confirm the same.

Nope, it still deletes the file. I am sure my computer is getting the regular escan updates... it now shows Oct. 22, but is there an update for mwavscan I need? I am running eScan corporate, and have mwavscan set up separately to scan for viruses and adware. Perhaps I need to download mwavscan again?

I will download mwavscan and get back to you if that fixes it, but as far as I can tell, the updates I have gotten have made no change.

Hello,

Please confirm the same.

Have you checked into this since the last update? Like I said, it continues to delete the file and I am unable to run the antivirus scan from mwavscan or I can't use my software.

Please get back to me asap about this issue.

Thanks,
Vernon.

Dear Vernon,

This has already been taken out from the updates. Let me make it sure if you are referring to the file zlib.dll.

If its still getting deleted then send a fresh log of scan to qa@mwti.net.
