Hi everybody,
during a scan avast found autochk.exe, located in C:\Windows\System32, and it says it is a Win32:Malware-Gen.
What should I do? Is it really a malware or is it just a false positive?
My laptop is a Samsung ultrabook, running on Windows 8.1, avast 2014.9.0.2008.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Upload file to WWW.virustotal.com and test With 40+ malware scanners
post link to scanresult here
seems like it can be a false positive
