Kaspersky antivirus 2009 detects HFS as virus

[youngbucks]

Just a heads up to everyone if you come across this, Kaspersky antivirus 2009 detects HFS as a virus and this is a false positive. I will be sending a message to them shortly to get this fixed! Don't get worried if you come across this

Hello!

I do not know where you've downloaded your hfs.exe, but if it is on rejetto.com, this is a false positive.

HFS is healthy.

If this is a false positive, you can send a message to Kaspersky Lab, for correct their viral base.


Edit:
I downloaded the hfs.exe on the link to your image.
I scanned with Nod32 ... it seems clean.

Certainly, a false positive ... But when in doubt, download your version on the author's site (a valid precautions for the majority of software).

[youngbucks]

The image you see actually was from the website. I clicked the link to download and that is what i ended up with. Im waiting for Kaspersky to fix this because it keeps deleting HFS off my computer and its blocking connections.

[SilentPliz]

You have to give the necessary permissions for the file or link in your firewall and your anti virus.
(Kaspersky?)

[youngbucks]

I have already done that but Kaspersky Antivirus is very hostile and stubborn, plus i already paid my money for my key so changing is not an option

[SilentPliz]

If you have the license Kaspersky, send their one-mail to report the problem.
I don't see what to do else.

Your problem seems beyond hfs.

I am sorry for not being able to help you more.

Maybe someone else to an idea? ...

[youngbucks]

Its ok, this was just a heads up for everyone Im going to purchase a server sided PC and run HFS on that instead, but now i know not to use Kaspersky

Best way is to double check here...multiple scanners

My A/V also detects this as a virus. I Use ClamAV. I also have reported a false positive to the support team.

This message is not from ClamAV, but from Spyware Terminator.

KAV is very stupid and officious  He saw mIRC client as trojan...
