Avast anti-virus detects the original psiphon3.exe as a threat:
SUSPICIOUS FILE BLOCKED
avast File System Shield has blocked a threat.
No further action is required.
Infection: Win32:Evo-gen [Susp]
Action: Moved to chest
Why is it like that? Is it really a threat? If not why avast recognizes it as a threat?
