Hello,

we dont thinks this is false. This detection should warn you from some root tools. Can you pls provide us some sample for analyze? Best way is send them to support@avast.com.

Thank you & best regards

Hi,

regarding the PUP thing - could you try to recheck the PUP checkbox and run the scan again? If it's still reported even though PUPs are disabled, I'm probably gonna need the file, sorry :(
