pdhui32.exe picked up as malware

Viruses and worms
1

This just started today. Apparently Avast! picks up pdhui32.exe to be malicious whenever I use google to search. It appears that it only happens when I do so. Malwarebytes didn’t pick anything up on quick scan so I’m currently running a full to see if it finds anything.

I also thought about simply ending the process through task manager.

Any advice is appreciated. thanks!
