Hi there,
I have a strong feeling the following is a FP.
Info from Avast popup:
SVC:HP Health Check Service > C:.…\hphc_service.exe
Win32:Evo-gen [Susp]
Full file path for file targeted as malicious.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Hewlett-Packard\HP Health Check
Thank you,
DonnaB aka bbbluz
Yes, that’d be a FP. Can you report it?

Win32:Evo-gen [Susp ] = suspicious, so not a confirmed malware
Upload and test suspicious file(s) at one of these places www.virustotal.com / www.metascan-online.com
If tested before click rescan for a fresh result … you may post link to scan result here
File seems to belong to hp, so you may report it to avast lab here https://support.avast.com

Thank you Michael and Pondus. Yes. My computer is an HP and has all that crazy HP Health Check bloatware it came with pre-installed.
Virus Total link is below:

When I report this FP am I supposed to include the link to VT or my thread here?
Thank you,
Donna
