Avast block VBS Malware-gen from svchost.exe every minutes
« on: February 22, 2017, 04:27:32 AM »
I dont know since when this happened to my computer because i always turn on silent mode so the pop up doesnt show. But when i turn off the silent mode pop up show every few minutes about avast block this threat.

Here a screenshot


Also i check my virus chest and it empty. I hope you guys can help me solve this problem..

EDIT #1
I just google it what is 7.tlu.dl.delivery.mp.microsoft.com/xxxx and its seems legit url from microsoft windows update or etc. But since i cant see full url from the pop up so i still cant make any decisions.

This should have been resolved by updating the virus definitions (which was available fairly soon after it became known), ensure that you update the virus definitions.

Any other action require on what actions you had avast set to do ?
For the most part, never set avast up to delete as a first choice (I don't set it for any choice) as you have no choices left. Always make regular (weekly) backups of your system, to help recovery from any issue not just an FP.

As for getting another antivirus isn't going to help you with this and I don't believe there is an AV that hasn't has an FP and some have been much worse than this.
