AVAST PREMIUM SECURITY - DRIVER MALWARE???

I received an email with the following message [I have no problems with the internet :slight_smile: ]:

I am a hacker who has access to your operating system.
I also have full access to your account.

I have been watching you for a few months now.
The fact is that you have been infected by malware through an adult site you have visited.

If you are not familiar with this, I will explain.
Trojan Virus gives me full access and control over a computer or other device.
That means I can see everything on your screen, turn on the camera and microphone, but you don’t know about it.

I also have access to all your contacts and all your correspondence.

Why didn’t your antivirus detect malware?
Answer: My malware uses the driver, I update your signatures every 4 hours so your antivirus is silent.

I made a video showing how you masturbate on the left half of the screen, and on the right half you see the video you were watching.

With a click of the mouse, I can send this video to all your emails and contacts on social networks.
I can also post access to all your email correspondence and messengers you use.

If you want to avoid this,
Transfer the amount of $ 550 to my bitcoin address (if you don’t know how to do this, write to Google: “Buy Bitcoin”).

My bitcoin address (BTC Wallet) is: 1Niyhcqd8MNT8tpRs8gK6Ho3V8fJy2wbF

Once I get paid, I will delete the video and you will never hear from me again.
I give you 50 hours (more than 2 days) to pay.
I have a warning reading this letter, and the timer will work when you see this letter.

Filing a complaint somewhere makes no sense because this email cannot be tracked as my bitcoin address.
I make no mistake.

If I find that you shared this message with someone else, the video will be distributed immediately.

MY QUESTION IS:
Is there malware that uses the driver and cannot be detected by Avast Premium Security?

It is a old scam mail

Obrigado pela informação, mas, o Avast Premium Security é capaz ou não de encontrar vírus em driver?

Sim ele pode identificar qualquer comportamento que apresente como forma de malware seja driver ou não.É claro que não há como garantir que o antivírus detecte todas as ameaças.
