Avast misses four bad items found by Microsoft Safety Scanner

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

On my Win 7 Pro 64-bit (on my home Dell Optiplex which also dual-boots Win 10 Pro 64-bit), I ran Microsoft Safety Scanner for the first time. (Version 1.0.3001.0.)

It says that HackTool:Win32/LSASecretsView.BH has NOT been removed. It also found and removed three other items.

First, What should I do?

Second, how did this get past my Avast Free? (My Avast is fully updated. It’s version 19.8.2393.)

Here’s a link to the results report from the Microsoft Safety Scan (link to a Word doc with a pic of the results):

pondus - thanks, but your links don’t provide the answer.

Anyone have a thought as to how specifically to search for and then fix HackTool:Win32/LSASecretsView.BH ?

Hacktools can be used to patch or “crack” some software so it will run without a valid license or genuine product key.

I guess you have these programs installed:

HackTool:Win32/LSASecretsView.BH https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/lsa_secrets_view.html

HackTool:Win32/Wirekeyview https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/wireless_key.html

HackTool:Win32/PasswordFox.A!bit https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/passwordfox.html

I just ran an Avast boot scan, but Avast did NOT find the malware.
Says I had zero infected files.
Not good!

avast boot scan does not give any better detection then the normal scan

Files (program) is not infected but classed as hacktool / riskware, so avast may have selected not to detect these or you have to turn on avast pup detection if not already done

These were probably PUP (based on this one that has hacktool name). PUP’s are not picked up with real-time protection and has to be enabled separately for on-demand scans.

I wonder why my post was deleted in this topic ???
I’ve just given a link to microsoft website with information
