Avast flags all Delphi executables as a Trojan

[Abe]

Avast had an update yesterday that flags all Delphi executables (and DLL's etc) as a trojan. This has since been fixed but it may take a little while to work out of the system. It is likely that Delphi programs have been moved to the vault and/or deleted from PC's.

Edit: It's marking them as win32:delf-mzg

This is going to cause a lot of problems. Things like Skype, Spybot etc are all being flagged.

The problem is that it can sometimes take clients a while to update. In the mean time, exe files etc are being flagged.
