Not sure what to make of this…
In the last few days I’ve started getting frequent Threat secured messages from Avast One, supposedly about a trojan Script:SNH-gen [Trj] in the process C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\sidebar.exe using the IP geolocation tool www.whereisip.net/. The warning messages are generated by Web Shield.
I run a number of activity monitors (CPU, disk, network) in a Windows 10 sidebar and have done done so for a number of years without problem until a few days ago. The sidebar.exe task has not been modified in quite some time. The whereisip.net geolocation tool is used widely with no flagged problems on the internet that I can find.
Any suggestions as to what’s actually going on here or where to look next?
