Avast just killed my PhotoFiltre!!

Furthermore, it did it without me giving the okay.


The siren blasted and the warning came on the screen. Positive ID of that program. I wanted a moment to confirm what was going on, so I shut Avast down without any action. P-F was as dead as a dead thing. The exe file looks okay, but will not run, even from the folder.


Any other sinister reports of this natty little program?

EDIT: I suppose it might have been got at prior to the warning, and just not run anyway. But trying to open PF just gives the same MS warning that it "Can't access the file, or it may have been moved." whereas first time it seemed to be starting.

EDIT II: I deleted the contents of PF folder and copied the original download into a newly created PF folder. The second I tried to reinstall it, the Trojan Horse warning came up again. Avast would only accept me Deleting. Nothing else would satisfy it. So, no PhotoFiltre for the time being.
