Avast Detecting ArmouryCrate Malware
« on: January 12, 2021, 01:52:20 PM »
So I have a computer with an Asus motherboard and the machine came with Armoury Crate installed and I've never had problems with it before. Yesterday and today when I log into my laptop Avast pops up saying "We've blocked ArmouryCrate.Service.exe:PE because it was infected with Win32:Malware-gen" Should I be worried? Is this a bug or a FP? Please help, I'm not exactly technically savvy.

Hello.
Have the same. My avast  also raport "We've blocked ArmouryCrate.Service.exe:PE because it was infected with Win32:Malware-gen". I'v check the file with other software and no virus found. Do not no if it's fake or real but after unninstalling it i try to download the software Armour Crate service form asus driver website and it's not available. Tomorrow i will contact asus tech support in Poland and ask them what is the problem.
