NvOAWrapperCache.exe detected as Win32:Evo-gen [susp]

Viruses and worms
1

So I built a new gaming PC a couple weeks ago, installed Windows 7 x64 and all the drivers, and installed known apps such as Handbrake, etc, as well as Avast Free and Malwarebytes Premium. I have an Nvidia graphics card, and I know that this is a process associated with Nvidia Updater, which updates automatically when GeForce Experience does (which I updated yesterday). So is this possibly a hijack, or is Avast flagging Nvidia Updater for updating GeForce Experience’s components?

Thank you,
Remy

Under normal circumstances the executable is considered to be benign: http://www.herdprotect.com/nvoawrappercache.exe-1b0971019852076484e7022825519cab79113f96.aspx

So should I restore the file and take no further action?

Is this only detected by Avast? Did you try on Metascan or VT.
First like to have an eventual FP being confirmed by Avast team member.

As I said, I have Malwarebytes Pro that scans every three hours. That should have detected it if it was a virus, so for now I think it’s a false positive.

I also leaning very much towards it being a FP.
