Be careful if you run Avast! on your TV server

Post by robteifi » Sun Jun 16, 2013 9:49 pm

Just had Avast! quarantine ArgusTV.Recorder.exe claiming that it is suspected of infection with the Win32:Evo-gen virus

Unfortunately Avasts "add the file to the scan exclusion list" option seems to do absolutely nothing, so I've had to disable the file system and behaviour shields.

Only lost a couple of recordings, but nothing too important fortunately

Thanks a lot, Avast! :x

To avoid further troubles for others, you could contact Avast and choose subject/topic: "Report false virus alert in file".
ARGUS TV + Recorder, 4 x FloppyDTV DVB-C, Smargo Smartreader Plus, MDAPI Plus, ACamd, OSCam, Win7 x64.

I have already reported it as a false positive, but not sure if the automatic method works.

Added a basic page to the wiki under troubleshooting
You can fix it, or you can fix it until it's broken. I usually choose the latter.

Server: WHS 2011. Hauppauge HVR 2200. Avermedia A835. ArgusTV Server. EPG Collector.
Clients: Win7 64bit. MediaPortal. ArgusTV Client. StreamedMP.
