Hi,
avast is telling me that it has detected a threat, but when I do a subsequent smart scan it says everything is ok.
The details are:
https://storagecard.info/55/projecte.dat
filerepmalware
Process: powershell.exe
I’m on Windows 10, fully patched and with the latest versions of all the software I use.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Mike

Dr.Web: known infection source
0k, thanks for that. I ran MBAM but it only found 3 PUPs, not the file that avast declared a threat.
Scan logs attached.

Powershell is a windows system file and is not a threat
Thank you. I am aware of what powershell is and I did not cite it as a threat.
Avast did, however, see fit to list it in the warning box with the other information supplied.
Now, I don’t know anything about these things, but it seems to be that the reference to powershell is relevant, else why mention it?
I will grab a screenshot if it rears its ugly head again…

It is relevant as there is malware that uses powershell, however you do not have that
