Avast detects Win32:Vitro when downloading bitpro.exe

[Mike1212]

Hi,

I was trying to download BurnInTest Professional for Windows for my PC hardware repair class and when the download was complete, I received a notification from Avast telling me that the application had been quarantined because of Win32:Vitro.

I did a scan with both Avast and Malwarebytes, as well as a boot scan - only bitpro.exe was flagged as being infected with Vitro.

I use Adblock Plus and McAfee site adviser and have never run into a problem with malware while using the internet, and have never been infected with a virus to my knowledge.

Could it just be a false positive?

I think it must be a false positive.

There is a VirusTotal scan here,

67 Antivirus products think the download is clean.

I'll try and contact Avast.

We contacted Avast and it look like Avast have corrected the issue in their latest signature update.
