False positive or actual virus problem?
« on: March 28, 2015, 04:42:31 AM »
I keep on getting a notification maybe... once every 2 or so days that says Avast has detected something and blocked it. It's always the same file and same process, and I'm not sure if it's a false positive or if I have a virus which is being suppressed (or for all I know it just SEEMS suppressed). Anyway; I took a screenshot of the notification to see what recommendations anyone might have. My laptop seems to be running fine and I haven't noticed anything suspicious except that notification, and it always seems to get blocked with no further action. Am I in the clear, is this a false positive, or is it a genuine virus? If it is; I have no idea how I got it, as I don't go to any dubious websites, unless Twitter counts.
