Hello,
A fellow paranoid here.
I recently got a pop-up by Avast saying that a threat was detected, and it was moved to virus chest. (IDP.Generic)
The file was a “Setup.exe” file, probably downloaded automatically as an update or something by some software that into the temp folder, which I didn’t open. Probably a false positive but to calm myself… my questions are:
- If Avast detected the file, this means that it was blocked from running on my computer?
- The file is no longer on my computer, and I’ve since preformed a few full scans, including boot-time scans and everything’s clean. The system is safe?
Thanks
