So, apparently Avast is now detecting online malware detection tool site, Virustotal, as containing malware??

I use VirusTotal a lot investigation possible false positives and have never come across that.

Just visited VT and no alert on initial loading.

No issue here either using firefox in uk. also tried on edge and chrome, no issues.

It is an old AVG detection issue with Avast’s. Read here: PwrSh:Agent-AX[Rat] | AVG

I just wonder of the OPs screenshot had the See details option open if it would have cast more light on it.

Certainly you are right, DavidR, as the registry dump is missing.
But this is a remote access Trojan (RAT) that creates a roque sub-directory in C:Windows/System32.
