Possible false-positive?
« on: October 18, 2012, 03:12:23 PM »
Hi,
I'm new to this forum and could do with some help. Yesterday, when I turned on my laptop, I was informed by avast that it was infected by 'other:malware-gen'. I ran a boot scan and found some other supposedly infected files. However, when I scan with Malwarebytes and Windows Defender no viruses are found. Both programmes are definitely up to date. Could this be a false-positive?
Thanks!
