« on: July 27, 2018, 10:51:36 PM »
Hello

When starting the computer on Windows 10(have Avast Antivirus Free running and updated), this message appeared:

Do you want to install ...?
TAP Provider V9 for Private Tunnel Adapt ...

Did anyone else have this message?
Thanks

No, it appeared apparently from no where, I did not install any new program lately

In a spanish speaking site, it says it is a virus, altrough can not tell if the that website is legit or just trying to sell a virus removal tool or something: https://losvirus.es/tap-provider-v9-for-private-tunnel/#windows

My question arises since Avast has been running all the time(first software installed in the computer), could it have bypassed Avast in some way?
