Actually, I still haven't updated since this topic was started (I know, my bad.. sorry but been really busy)...
I'm glad updating worked for you, mxn!

FWIW, avast! has just spotted GridMove as a false positive, declared itself unable to heal and quarantined.
I whitelisted and "un-quarantined" GMove but the program was "not found" (apparently the quarantine un-quarantine process blew something up).

Closed avast, downloaded new version (new copy of v1192, indeed), re-installed... and  >:( avast! spotted the false positive again.

Believe this issue belongs in avast! forums: how to whitelist an application!  :down:

in addition to white-listing, i believe that the AV vendors should improve their detection routine as well in order to reduce the alarming rate of false alarms. :)

Well, Lanux...

False alarms are extremely boring to you and me, but for the average client the false alarm is perceived as legit, thus improving his/her confidence in the product image, choice and fidelity.

False alarms increase sales... otherwise they would be long gone.

that's why AV vendors find it easier label a program as a malware instead. what can i say, fear mongering works apparently.
