Had this randomly pop up. In my LaunchAlaunchX.exe and then when I checked in the virus chest and scanned. Said no virus then I get another pop up and says its in 13.exe avast temp. Then everytime I scan in the chest it pops up in avast temp and its 14.exe 15.exe etc
Then why does it say in the chest that it isn’t a virus when I scan it? And why would virus go from the Launch.exe to the being in Avast temp? I haven’t had a virus is a long time. So a bit confusing
Weird, I just tested it again and scanned the Launch again in the chest, and it brings up being in avast temp again, and saying its 13.exe. Even though the launch in the chest say’s its not a virus.
I’m confused, so basically, every time I scan the file in the chest, it brings up another alert with the virus in the avast temp. Must be a false pos
Ah I see. When I started a Malwarebytes scan it brought it up. That’s how I got the pop up. I just scanned the extract files and it brought it up in LaunchAlaunchX.exe again
You can use mail
send to virus@avast.com in a password protected zip file
mail subject: False Positive / undetected sample (select subject according to your case)
zip password: infected
Just doing full and long (3 hour) scan with MBAM at moment, and it hasn’t picked up the virus like it did before (got a pop up from avast when did that). I guess the avast temp files was ok to delete?
Also if MBAM and Avast and Super-anti-spyware don’t find anything. I should be fine now? As I want to sort is asap then can change the passwords I used for my banking, email, eBay etc
Still have no idea how I got it, as stick to safe websites!
I haven’t recieved any training. That’s part of the reason why I can’t fully help you. And that’s also why I asked someone else to help you. Wait for their reply tomorrow and they should be able to help.
