I get a pop up from microsoft ‘security’ stuff saying I have a issue:- Hacktool:win32/netpass. My Avast system doesn’t detect anything. Netpass is something I have used to search all passwords on my PC. Is it a ‘threat’ or is it MS being 'nit picky ?
Test the file at VT (https://www.virustotal.com) and post the link to the result here.
Hacktool:win32/netpass
Not a virus but a riskware: a warning from microsoft that you have a riskprogram that can be used for good or bad depending on who installed it on your computer
Ahh OK thanks. worry over.
if you upload the file to VT as suggested by @Asyn you will probably see a ton of detections but some have “not a virus” or “riskware” in the detection name
