Hi,
I've recently opened a file (.exe) which I suspect to have viruses or malwares or spywares. Before opening it though, I scanned it with Avast and it turn out to be a safe file. After opening it I noticed that when I open a third-party application to view my Windows startup, I see 2 records for Avast. One is the normal one that I usually see:
"C:\Program Files\AVAST Software\Avast\avastUI.exe" /nogui
Then the second one which I have just seen today is:
C:\Program Files\AVAST Software\Avast\setup\emupdate\ecb548a0-1048-4af1-adcf-ecd65c483280.exe /check
To me this is weird, but it is registered as one of Avast files. So I was wondering if this file is really a legitimate Avast file or has the file been injected maliciously? Thanks!
For now, I will disable this startup entry until I get an answer.
