I keep getting a threat secured message but nothing is in fact moved to the virus check.  It would seem to be a false message

I was wrong;  there are many copies in the virus chest.  I nver use chrome but this is the cuurent version
Version 79.0.3945.117 (Official Build) (64-bit)
evidently it hasn't been updated for some time.  I can update it manually

Hello,
you can check the file on virustotal.com if you suspect it is a false positive or send us for analysis: https://www.avast.com/false-positive-file-form.php
