hi everyone,
i'm having trouble with avast free continually detecting avast.setup in the c:\program files\avast software\avast\setup as a hidden rootkit process. when it scans it shows the file as PID0 to PID12 and when looking at the scan results avast.setup is repeatedly shown even though it's the same file. when i try to remove or move the avast.setup it says "access denied"
no other software (spybot, malware bytes, malware fighter) has been able to detect anything bad in that folder, so i suspect it's a false positive. even so, i'm quite worried. can anyone help me?
