False Positive Anti-Malware (Avast Business Installer)

Dexta · July 24

Today we wanted to install the Avast Ultimate Business Client on one of our machines. The Online-Installer never finished, because the download got blocked by the firewall. Below you see screenshots from Secureporter and the Eventlog.

I hope this is the right way to report false positives. I could not find any offical form for this.

Kind regards,

Michael

Hi @Dexta

To avoid false positive detections by Anti-Malware in the Nebula firewall, please add the file name to the Allow list of the Anti-Malware (path: Site-wide > Configure > Firewall > Security service). You can find the file name in your Nebula firewall event log. Based on the screenshot you provided, the file name is “5f195612-384a-48ea-8408-b4ede9dc56bb”.

Hi @Dexta

To resolve the issue with the Avast Business Installer being blocked, please add the MD5 value (5F195612384A48EA8408B4EDE9DC56BB) of the installer to your firewall's allow list.

Hi @Zyxel_Kay

Thank you. Do you also have a similar guide for Nebula devices? For example, as you see in my screenshots, there is no md5 hash. Where do i find it?

And in regards to report the false positive, see picture bellow. It ommits where to report.

Kind regard,
Michael
