False positive: AVG Anti-virus and Thinapp

Duncan Epping · Apr 6, 2009 ·

One of colleagues emailed me this weekend that he had a problem with Thinap’ed application and AVG. My AVG updated this morning and I can confirm the issue. When you run or download an application(virtualized by Thinapp) the applications is marked as Trojan horse Constructor.DER infected. As a work around you can of course  add all your applications as exceptions cause it’s clearly a false positive. (I downloaded a brand new application from thindownload.com to double check.) We are not the only ones that noticed it cause someone opened a thread on the AVG forum. Let’s hope AVG will fix this issue asap.

    same thing here.. This gives me lots of problems since on our corporate network it seems as if I am having viruses on my computer with all the hassle it involves.

    @AVG, please fix this soon cause when I get virus warnings I want them to be real viruses.

    Awsome post and straight to the point. I am not sure if this is in fact the best place to ask but do you people have any thoughts on where to employ some professional writers? Thanks in advance 🙂
