both showed malwarebytes as process
both items were moved to the chest but i cant remove them to do a virus total scan
malwarebytes showed nothing wrong
maybe its a FP but just to be safe.
the same is happening to me it just started recently and im scared since this is a brand new computer and i dont want it to have anything serious like this already, like you i have run malware bytes and done full system scans it detected the virus and i put it in the chest but everytime i open something like opera or firefox avast states its blocking the virus any help would be much appreciated.
Also sorry I dont mean to use your post with my problem too only i didnt know what else to do and this way maybe it well get more attention i dont know.
Another customer here getting reports of false positives, we getting a break on the money we pay for this BS, not the first time Avast has detected false files.
Hi have been reading these posts I have about 160 files now in virus chest As was the VBS:Malware-gen.
Avast warned me I had a virus so did boot scan.
Would be releaved if its not an issue, have done Malware Anti-Malware scan it looks to be coming up clean.
have windows 10, Avast antivirus have just updated to 20day trial premium.
Not sure how to do a screen shot re virus chest.
So what now re chest.???
thanks have updated the VPS, computer seems ok. What do I do about the files in the chest, I tried to restore them but it tells me they …You are trying to restore a file from the chest but the file already exists…
