So I was performing a system scan today, and came across something quite bizarre. The virus scanner found a Smadow Trojan at /Library/Application\ Support/Avast/vps9/defs/16030102/db_str.map and another at /dev/fd/17. I could quickly delete the 'compromised file in the avast directory, although I'm not quite sure I should, but after running the command cd /dev/fd to check on the other infected file, and then running the ls command, I found that the file does not appear to exist.
Now I'm worried.
Why is Avast showing an infected file that i'm not quite sure exist, or at least I don't have access to, and which Avast is unable to delete or store in the Virus Chest? And why does another infected file exist within the Avast directory?
Does anyone know how I can remedy this issue?
