Virus detectected yesterday 27th not sure if it's an fp

Hi,Using Avast IS,i ran a full scan yesterday and Avast detected c:\windows\prefetch\readyboot\trace6.fx link Reverton-f(Trj) as a virus
and put it in the virus chest,i’m not sure if this is an fp or not so i don’t if i should delete it or not.Thanks for any help.

That is a Windows File (Rdyboost). Although if you want reassurance, find and upload it too (www.virustotal.com). If you want a virus/malware check…

Go Here

Download and Run: OTL, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware & aswMBR

Attach the following log files in your next reply.

  • OTL.txt
  • Extras.txt
  • aswMBR.txt
  • Malwarebytes.txt

Thanksfor your help.I just restored the file and scanned it with (www.virustotal.com) and all anti virus’s gave it a green tick,
I take it thats a good sign.
I then ran an Avast full scan again and this time it did’nt flag it as a virus.
I think maybe it’s a safe bet to say that this was indeed an FP.

If you’d like Twin to check your computer, attach the logs. If you’re confident it’s a FP, I think we are done here :).

Yeah i’m pretty confident it’s an FP,also recently had laptop a good going over from a MBAM tech guy which ran clean.
So ok to close thread.Thanks for your help. :slight_smile:

Glad we could Help :slight_smile:
