Hello,
I ran a full scan with avast 5 on my Acer Aspire 3680 laptop and it detected only one file:
C:\Program Files\Acer\Acer Arcade\Kernel\CLML_NTService\se\xmlparse.dll
Avast called it “Threat:Win32:Adware-gen [adw]”
The action “Move to Chest” received the error “Access is denied”
Avast said this virus was in memory or something.
It suggested a boot scan which I haven’t done yet because I got to thinking…
If this is a false positive and it gets removed, could it damage my computer?
Is this a common false positive on Acer computers?
Should I just trust avast and remove it?
If this was a threat, why wouldn’t malwarebytes and all the other adware programs have found this?
Anyway, thanks for your help. I’m just skeptical of the detection and not sure what to do.
