I don't remember when was the last time I opened the virus chest... However, today, after Avast giving a most probably fake positive on Apex Legends, I tried accessing it.

The moment I open the Virus Chest
- the window is slow to show up
- it states the chest is empty
- none of the buttons on the window work and the only way to close it on screen is the task bar

Is that a known problem? When will it be fixed?
