I did a full rootkit scan (sensitivity normal)with avast and got the following detection:
File C:\## aswSnx private storage\webStorage\image\Users\user\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\PepperFlash\11.1.31.203\pepflashplayer.dll **HIDDEN**
Severity High, Threat rootkit, hidden file.
Boot time scan shows nothing.
(I did the scan because I'd been getting a few mbam IP block alerts, and a couple of crashes - but the alerts have stopped with last mbam update)
This being safezone/sandbox storage I expect (and sincerely hope) it is a FP (I gather there is legitimate file in chrome of this name, but not sure why this is classed as hidden when other aswSnx files aren't)
- but how to send it virustotal for checking? - I can't even see ## aswSnx private storage on the C drive, even with 'show hidden files' selected.
(I know I've seen it before - I've even deleted it before on pk's advice to fix a safezone problem).
Any thoughts?
Thanks
