The msmpeng.exe process is associated with the Microsoft Windows Defender application
In general, any security application can load some signatures (fragments of malicious code used to detect the real threats) into memory - they are located in data segments (instead of executable code). With "Ignore virus targeting" option enabled avast! can detect these harmless fragments.These items in scan results are not the files but the virus is detected in memory allocated to security_program_name.exe process - because of this no action is available.
