At this point I ran Malwarebytes and used online Panda scan with both results negative. I suspected a false positive but to be safe I stopped search indexing via Services and allowed Avast to put the file in the vault.
I restarted indexing and Avast’s next scan flagged the file again. This is a “different” file because it was generated after turning indexing back on. So, I figured I had better pursue and hopefully resolve this.
All my scans are with indexing turned off.
I don’t notice anything amiss other than the Avast scan result.
I’m running Vista Home Premium on a 64-bit machine.
No problems. That’s why I assumed false positive also, especially with MBAM and Panda negative.
So I finished some work I needed to do with indexing off and a clean scan. But searching was impeded so I restarted indexing and my next scan flagged the file again.
I also run ZoneAlarm, Supeantispyware, and Spywareblaster. Maybe you see that lol. I like to think I run a tight ship.
I never really looked at the vault and now see I can submit the file to the virus lab. Shall I do that?
