Dear Avast
Today after updating Avast Premium Security to the latest version
22.2.6003 (v 22.2.7013.717) with virus definitions
220322-4, I got some detections which were automatically put in the Quarantine.
These are all detections of the kind
"Gamaredon-CM [Apt]" in the following folders/files.
- C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.Search_cw5n1h2txyewy\...\(Multiple_random_named_files...).js
- C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Hard Disk Sentinel\hds_control_check.vbs
- C:\Program Files\Microsoft OneDrive\22.033.0213.0002\Animation.html
I also reported these detections for further analysis through the Avast software.
I already read the following post on Twitter =>
https://twitter.com/Spitlebug/status/1506328113336135680 as well as multiple topics on this forum regarding the "Prefs.js" file for Firefox and Thunderbird where some people mention this is a FP.
It is almost unimaginable that these (or similar) detections are not happening to a lot more customers.
Can someone of the Avast dev team please look into this and confirm wether these are FP and thus safe to remove from the Quarantine?At this moment I don't feel safe removing them from the Quarantine even though my gut feeling is telling me these are FP.
A full complete system scan did not show any other threats.
Thanks you in advance!
Kind regards
