I think it’s way more likely that it’s a false positive. We have same antivirus, it warns us after windows update, virustotal says it’s clean and it’s rootkit.GEN so avast doesn’t even know what rootkit it is. Most likely it’s just just microsoft bloatware which often acts like rootkits because they turn on immediately on the background. I hate all these updaters soooo much.
Actually I feel like my boot time was reduced after deletion so that makes me wonder. Hopefully avast admins will let us know soon…
