For a server, but you can see the problems it can create. My advice would be to quarantine files and not delete until you are sure they are infected. This way if it is a mistake you can replace the file, incidentally quarantined files are completely safe.

If you come across FP, best thing is to report to the program makers, that way they can get the problem fixed, helping them, you and others users - either do this by email or use their forums (if they have one).

Good advice I always quarantine.

Thanks for the update !

I just noticed the update, and the first thing I did was to start Avast. No alert this time, when scanning memory, on Avast start up.

No need for me to contact their CS now, looks like you, and (probably) other users have alerted them about this, and they fixed it.

Yep, pretty quick response too, they would have had to re-test and then release the update, I'm impressed

Fair play to Avast.
