Virus [RESOLVED: Avast removed false positive]

[Halawakee]

I'm hoping it is just Avast , but when I try to update to v1.8.5 via iTunes, Avast blocks because of a virus WIN32:Evo-gen. It seems to think I'm downloading "

I can update via iDevice, but not via iTunes unless I disable my virus program Avast

Not looking for technical support just wondering if anyone else is having this issue that is not using Aavst but does have an anti virus program running on Windows.

That definitely has to be due to a false positive, I doubt Apple would allow iTunes to carry any binaries that have a virus.
hen I submit a new version to Apple, the upload goes through an Apple application that performs the upload. Apple servers then compress the upload and prepares it for review and then eventual download for my users.

Also to note, all development of the myCal products is performed on Mac computers, not a single Windows PC in sight here.

It might be worth me contacting Avast about this false positive, thank you for the heads up!

Long story short, the false positive is being resolved by Avast in their next VPS update, hopefully within the next few hours.

I have been told that Avast have now resolved this with the latest virus definitions, the false positive shouldn't happen anymore.
