Same here. Repost from my other reply:
I'm getting all sorts of hits on my computer and VM today with Avast warning me about a generic "VBS:Malware-gen" when I open Google Chrome. I ran a "Full system scan" and I'm at 1,000+ hits and counting, and my drives are only about 24% scan completed). The irony is Avast's "Smart scan" detects nothing, but the "Full system scan" does. What good is it if it can't detect jack?
I ran online scans from ESET, Trend Micro, Kaspersky, and F-Secure and they all came back negative.
I use Macrium Reflect to back up my system so I restored a full image from about 2 weeks ago (errors only started today), and Avast is complaining about files being infected from this restore too.
I powered up my laptop (which I haven't used for months) and updated Avast's antivirus definitions and ran a Full system scan on there. It's also detecting the SAME THING.
I'm going to restore my system to about 2 years ago to see if Avast still detects it too.
The last time Avast reported false positives was a few years ago. n00bishly, I let Avast delete my Windows system files and had to do a complete reinstall of Windows.
Is anyone else running into this same problem?
