I have an issue with Avast detecting Win32:Malware-gen
« on: March 02, 2019, 05:08:33 AM »
 :'(Hello, so recently I have been getting detections from Avast of Win32:malware-gen by Avast.  But anytime I scan using Malwarebytes or Avast I get nothing involving this malware.  I don't know whether this a false positive or an actual Trojan, but I am not that experienced in dealing with this, so I hope anyone here could help resolve the issue.

I did some more searching, and apparently Avast is saying that it is coming from svchost.exe
