After reinstalling windows 10 and avast free antivirus, I wanted to install metatrader 4 from IC Markets.
After running icmarkets4setup.exe, avast recognized the IDP.Generic file as a virus.
Malwarebytes has not given an alarm.
My question now is whether this is a false positive or a Trojan?

Of course it's not a virus. Avast is malware and should not be used by responsible PC users. If you want to detect viruses and malware use "Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool" (google that). It's illegal to use as stated by American authorities, so that by itself is proof of its quality. Every Anti-Virus that's officially recommended somewhere (Avast, McAfee etc.) should be avoided at all cost.
ps: Why is KasperSky considered illegal? Because it is so good that it detects government trojans and malware. Official anti-virus software producers get paid for not "detecting" such threats. So they do the exact opposite of what they claim to do.
It takes blood, sweat and enough tears to wash away the blood.

Hey my friend, thank you for your reply.....
yes I agree with you, I think the same way.
I was very suprised that avast gives me an alarm on MT4.exe. After 5 years of dealing with avast, i didnt got this before. However I dont use windows anymore in the old fashion way......
meanwhile I have switched from Windows 10 to Linux. After the last microsoft update for windows 10, my system ran so bad, that I had to reboot my PC all the time. Windows hang up itself by starting any applications. First I thougth that my hardware is defect. But after the installation of Linux Mint, suddenly all the problems were gone. Now I run MT4 on Linux in Virtualbox (Win10) with no issues. I recommend all of you to switch from windows to linux. The advantages are huge. Meanwhile you have to register to a microsoft account after installation of windows. Otherwise you cannot start windows. Personally I think, this is to much Microsoft bullshit for me. Therefor i have to say bye bye to microsuck windows and its nonsense.....
When anybody is interested on how to run MT4 in linux, please let me know.
I would create a little tutorial about that........
sorry for my bad english : ) and greetings from germany

Any program could be roped into another executable but if you're downloading the installer directly from the broker, there shouldn't be any problems.
As for Avast, I haven't tried that software to know. I've only ever used McAfee products and I've never had virus issues because of its very effective "on-access" scanning feature.
I don’t think there’s anything malicious about the MT4 installer file. The reason it’s detected as a virus is because there are scripts in the program’s directory after you install it. The scripts execute instructions through the internet via scripts to adjust trades, etc.
