We can’t help with that information on its one.
What detected it ?
- What is the infected file name, where was it found e.g. (C:\windows\system32\infected-file-name.xxx) ?

Sorry
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\Logs\tmp.edb
Avast tried to delete it, but was not able to find that file (me the same through explorer), how interesting
What does this type of virus do?
It was not a scan, Avast just alerted me (file shield)

C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\
has to do with windows updates…so i would say this is probably a FP
possible windows have done some auto cleanup in that folder so the file is gone…

Hi Pondus,
Not the same location, but the same file type and prone to be wrongly interpretated by av scans. That is why the proposed exclusion. An agics system hash scan could give an indication of the risks to the OS,
