For the past week or so I have had an Avast One pop-up saying it has aborted connection to smb://187.213.183.60/nsa:cve-2017-0144_EternalBlue, because it was infected with SMB:CVE-2017-0144 [Expl]
This keeps happening over and over again, without me doing anything. A few times I was able to see a small black screen appear for a few milliseconds, but then be replaced with the avast pop-up.
I looked this up here, and multiple people a few years ago had the same thing happen. The fix usually recommended was simply to close port 445. I did this, but it has not helped in the least. Is this a false positive, or is this an actual problem that needs to be fixed?
If it helps, I am on a HP windows 8.1 device.
I will give you a screenshot of the avast pop-up:
In the short time it took to write this post, the pop-up appeared 2 more times.
Edit: In each pop-up, the IP specified is always different, and is from all over the world.
