Mmm this thread has gone outside the box. I don’t mind discussions, there are some interesting statements here. Especially this one

Oh, yeah, totally. Sure it is. I mean, you couldn’t have missed my post, could you?

It happened on first boot on the day. Meaning:

  • Started up my PC at noon to notice startup apps were deleted / put inside chest(my 1st post in this thread)
  • Rebooted (nothing more got deleted)
  • Rebooted
  • Scanned chested files (no viruses detected, FileRepMalware danger magically disappeared as soon as those files got inside the chest! MAGIC!)
  • Spent 3 hours reinstalling software freshly downloaded from the Internet
  • Did a full scan of my PC, all drives, PUP-enabled. Avast found nothing.
  • Turned off PC for the night, then turned it on next day
  • Startup apps and drivers got quarantined again [FileRepMalware] (well, at least not deleted since I changed my settings, because OBVIOUSLY Avast couldn’t ask me if I wanted them moved to chest, deleted or just blocked at boot)
  • Scanned programs inside the chest. No viruses found - again
  • I didn’t feel like restoring apps again. I’m running a retarded system right now. Maybe I’ll fix it tomorrow.

So yeah, I totally have a virus. It’s a tricky one though, it only activates during boot and lives only in my startup programs for a short while, disappearing when you put it inside the chest.
FYI I’ve been running avast ever since I bought this PC (a little over a year ago).
AND the second time it didn’t mark the same apps as previously as FileRepMalware. It chested less files.

EDIT: Oh and of course I have sent those files as false positive. I filled in the details on every file in the Avast report window for those 18 files.

About additional features like software updater… It’s cool for non-technical people like my girlfriend, who don’t really know how to update stuff. I have personally uninstalled those features (Software Updater, SVPN, browser cleanup). I don’t like more and more apps running in background. Especially since most of those apps already have integrated updaters installed and running in background…
