Just checking to be safe, Combofix flagged as Rootkit?

Hello :wave

I'm really sorry if this is just a false-positive or something small and harmless. but I just attempted to download the combofix file from majorgeeks.com Via bleepingcomputer and was presented with a Rootkit warning from my Avast Pro Antivirus which also prevented me from acessing the file due to obvious safety reasons.


the exact Avast pop-up warning read like this:

http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe|>[PECompact]
Threat Level: High
Threat: Win32:Rootkit-gen[Rtk]


Many thanks for looking into this.. I've downloaded combofix a few times now, but have never been presented with such a message during any of the other downloads, so I thought it best to make sure before proceeding.

Thank again,
Nico
