Python warning
« on: July 17, 2020, 04:26:32 PM »
Running Avast Premium I get almost daily a warning that is 'securing a threat' in Systems/Libarary/Frameworks/Python/Version/2.7/Resources/Python....etc.  Attached is a shot of the warning.  It is coming from a site called 'orolk'.  It all feels a bit suspicious and has been persistent for months.

I have two questions....

1.  Is Python an application I should be allowing.  Why is it just this one file that is buried constantly that is being upadated and not others?
2.  Can I delete the Python framework or should I request from Avast to allow it?

and a third...

3.  Does anyone else have this exact problem?  If so how have you remedied it?



Thanks to you all.

I don't know a lot about code writing but python is used to write code I believe.
I simply googled "what is framework python version 2.7" More information available via search
