I was checking on a recent description on an adware scanned. I have copied below the files and description of each.
FirstRowSportApp.exe Win32:Adware-AHG [Adw]
FirstRowSportApp[1].exe Win32:Adware-AHG [Adw]
What does AHG represent? And is this file really infected? I had used this application for some time now with no real threats till recent. Thanks for reviewing.
The last element is not that important (my personal opinion) it is just another variant of adware and I don’t believe there is any specific description for the -AGH variant/s of adware.
As new signatures are added or modified it is possible that things not previously detected are detected.
I have no idea what this FirstRowSportApp.exe app is/does, but perhaps it delivers targeted adverts based on your browsing/computer use/interests, etc. (that really is what adware does).

You could also check the offending/suspect file at: VirusTotal - Multi engine on-line virus scanner and report the findings here, post the URL in the Address bar of the VT results page. You can’t do this with the file securely in the chest, you need to Open the chest and right click on the file and select ‘Extract’ it to a temporary (not original) location first, see below.
Create a folder called Suspect in the [b]C:[/b] drive. Now exclude that folder in the File System Shield, Expert Settings, Exclusions, Add, type (or copy and paste) C:\Suspect*
That will stop the File System Shield scanning any file you put in that folder.
