Hey guys
So, I am having a somewhat aggrivating problem. This is what Avast is telling me: (see attached)
What does this mean? AM I GONNA DIE???
jk, but what can I do?
was this a custom scan ?
did you select " Scan memory " ?
msmpeng.exe is windows defender
Sure is a custom scan, and i told it to scan everthing. It scans my face at some point I think.
Whats with all the virus names its listing?
These are detections in Memory - You are doing a Custom scan in which you have elected to scan Memory and that all these detections are in memory.
Since they aren’t physical files they can’t be moved to the chest, deleted, etc. so there is no action that can be taken, hence the Apply button being greyed out.
The detections in memory are frequently other security applications loading unencrypted virus signatures into memory (windows defender in this case). Having set off a scan of memory by an antivirus application looking for virus signatures, don’t be too surprised if it finds some in memory.
