Hello Everyone!
I have a couple questions about Avast.
I encountered a threat warning of “VBS: Malware Gen” from Avast when I accessed a website for royalty-free music via YouTube Creator Studio.
I ran a Full System Scan and when it finished, the result was a lot of files marked as “VBS: Malware Gen.” I selected the option to quarantine these files in the Virus Chest.
I looked through the Avast forums for an answer and found a recent topic that discussed about this. Apparently, these are false positives which should have been corrected after the current update.
I opened the Virus Chest and scanned all files within. Most of them showed “-no virus-” but a few files were still marked as VBS: Malware Gen (See image).
Are these also false positives? I scanned some of the marked files individually with Avast and Malwarebytes and they showed no threat.
The next question is about using the Virus Chest. I right-clicked a file and selected “Restore” to move it back to its original location. However, the file still remained in the Virus Chest. I thought the file would no longer be in the Virus Chest list after it is restored.
Is this how the Chest normally works?
