Title: Avast requesting my admin password to move virus to chest?
Post by: strength_is_Him on May 26, 2020, 11:57:33 PM
Hi there,

I just started using Avast and it told me one day that I had a virus it blocked in the administrator.exec functioning area and it asked me if I wanted to move the blocked virus to the virus chest...to move it, it wanted my admin password I believe to my computer since I was altering the administrator.exe I did not the first time but it came up again. Is this a fake prompt or is this really avast? Or was it just asking for the Avast password?

Please let me know!
