False Positive Teamviewer IDP.Generic?

OH

Hi, I recently was using Teamviewer later to get prompted by this error message. I just took it as a false positive any ideas? Thank you.

Hi @OH

Thank you for posting.

With regards to the error message from Avast, could you please update the virus definition file?

Also please double check if the service below has been blocked in your Avast security software.

• teamviewer.exe
• teamviewer_service.exe
• teamviewer_desktop.exe

Hope this information will be helpful for you.

Best regards,
