Tech Note: Avast Interferes with AccuTerm 2K2

On Friday, August 9, 2013, several users reported that their AccuTerm 2K2 program will not run or is otherwise malfunctioning. Upon investigation, we discovered that a recent update to the Avast Antivirus program was the culprit. We have submitted the necessary files to the Avast team and it appears that the virus definition update on 8/11/2013 has resolved the problem. In the mean time, if this problem affects your copy of AccuTerm and updating the Avast virus definitions does not resolve the issue, please see the following instructions for excluding the affected file from Avast: avast_130809-2_false_positive.txt .
