Avast found C:\WINDOWS\system32\algsrv.exe infected with some kind of virus, and also some other files in windows folder. That virus is trying to load in RAM, so Avast is constantly prompting me to delete it. If I delete those files in windows folder, will system stay operational or not? What should I do??? Thanks 8)
Test the file with VirusTotal and let us know the result. If it is indeed a false positive, send it in a password protected zip to virus@avast.com. VirusTotal has a file size limit of 10Mb. Please, mention in the body of the message why you think it is a false positive and the password used. Thanks.
If it’s an infected file, send it to Chest rather then direct remove.
This will allow to restore the file back if it is clean, rescan the file, etc.
