atieclxx.exe detected

Viruses and worms
1

Hello,

Yesterday I was playing around with some settings in the radeon software and avast detected atieclxx.exe as a virus, can’t remember the exact code, I think Ipd.alexa.51 but not entirely sure
I had to make an exception for the window to go away. But deleted the exception after and did another scan to see if it would detect it again. But nothing so far.

Log:

I also checked the file’s signature which is name of signer “Advanced Micro Devices Inc.” and “Digest algorithm: Sha1”

Is this a false positive or is it an actual virus?

Read about this Windows process here: https://www.file.net/process/atieclxx.exe.html
File stands for AMD ATI External Events Client Module

In a worse case scenario this could be a process masked cryptoware.

Just wait for a malware remover to instruct you.

I have done a scan with malware bytes and avast. I did full system scan and a separate folder scan. They detect nothing.

I think avast did give me the option to remove it when it got detected, it did give me an option at least but I out it as an exception though removed it from the exception list shortly after.

Also couldn’t it be worse than Cryptoware since that site says the thing can record keyboard stroked and monitor apps?
