Hi! Avast find this rootkit “win32 evo-gen susp” and it is not able to remove it. The SO is win 8.1 and Avast version: 2014.9.0.2021.
How can I solve this problem? I have tried with a full scan and a boot-time scan.
Is it a false positive? Is it malicious?
Thank you in advance.

In addition, the boot-time scan revealed:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\4cff408a-d9e7-47c3-a711-95133fcf7f45Gw64.sys.
Can you help me?
Thank you

here is attached the scanlog by malwarebyte.
There is no trace of the mentioned file “water…” nor of the other file!
I have just updated Avast at the latest version:it alerts me from “water” but it can’t delete it.
What can I do?
Thank you

ahahahahahah…ok. Is the PC required to be on?
You are the best!
my last questions are: is Avast 2015 antimalware? Do I need malwarebytes again? what about farbar?
Thank you!
