I did a quick scan this evening and Avast! found four files that it said were infected with Win64:Dropper (DRP). They are all part of my beats audio system. All files in those folders have the same “last modified date” of 3/29/13. The four files are all alike - located in four places on the machine. Windows and the IDT folder. sstray64 is a legitimate file per research on the net. I know they can be changed with a virus but with 54 cleans on the virus total…false positive?
The files are quarantined in the chest. I submitted through the virus chest. I submitted two - one from windows location and one from program files location.
Once in the chest they can sit there without causing any damage.
My suggestion is to leave them be for a week or two. Then open the
chest and “right click” an re-scan right from the chest. If they then
come out clean “right click” and restore to their original place.
I waited for a couple updates and then decided to rescan within the virus chest. They now all scan as “no virus”. So this was a false positive correct and it is safe to restore these files?
