Hello,
Upon booting up this morning, Avast! notified me that a rootkit was found. The file name is C:\WINDOWS\system32\HPZipm12.exe. I did some research and found out that it is related to HP printer drivers. Could this be a rootkit then? The type is listed as hidden process. I don’t want to delete something that will make me have to reinstall my printer. Thanks for your help!
don’t panic… this is a known false positive and we’re working on a fix for it
