Avast has put SIHClient.exe into virus chest - what should I do

[daftshadow]

Bumping, just got the warning message from Avast today and recommended to move the file to virus chest which I did.

Is it confirmed SIHClient.exe is a false positive?

[REDACTED]

I just had the same problem. Popped up when I was playing a MS Game.
Threat name IDP.Generic
Infected File SIHClient.exe
Location C:\Windoes\System32
I put it in the virus Chest but Is it a necessary file?

[REDACTED]

Just to say we've just had the same report from AVG on one of our Windows 10 PCs.

I have the same problem.

I have had a warning from Avast.  My question is: should I move to virus chest or not ?

If someone could explain how to insert an image, I will post a screenshot.

Thanks

I can see the icon to "insert image".  But when I click on that, it inserts "img /img" surrounded by square brackets.  I don't know how to get my image into the post.  I've tried cut&paste and control-V.  Nothing works for me.

OK found it

so the question remains: Do we move to virus chest or create exception?

As you can see from previous posts, it is recommended to upload to virustotal.com and have it scanned again (it may well show older scans, it is best to have it scanned afresh).  Then post the link to the results as others have.

What options are shown in the More Options dropdown menu ?
If there is one to send to the avast virus labs, I would do that also.

Here are the results from VirusTotal, guess it's a false positive.

It is certainly looking that way, however if this detection was by the avast behaviour shield, that doesn't actually run on on the scan by Virus Total.

If you have this file in the virus chest, you should submit it to avast for analysis.
