About a week ago Avast anti-virus started reporting that "mp3tag_s.exe" has Win32:Vitro virus and stopped the executable from running.  I checked this file on 3 different systems just to be sure and Avast reports a virus found on each system. I also ran NAV on the file and it didn't find anything.  

Others may be having this same issue and avoiding your program so you may want to report the false positive to Avast.

I have spoken to Avast now, and they cannot reproduce this problem with the current version of the signatures they say. Is the problem fixed if you download the latest signatures from them too now?

FWIW, I also use Avast (the free version) and am not having any problem.
