He was very polite but still I think that's a bit premature. I think that is inappropriate in this situation, as I don't even know if this is a real threat yet or not. I don't bear your tech guy any ill will, but of course he tried to sell me on a tech support package. I already did super anti spyware and malwarebytes. I would really appreciate it if one of the malware guys could tell me if there is anything else I should scan the file with.

The guy on the phone pretty much just said to trust the software but literally EVERY time in the past I have had this happen it turned out that Avast was detecting legitimate safe software falsely. Honestly, I find it very very difficult to believe that this is malware and I wish someone could tell me a definitive yes or no. I still don't believe it's real malware, but he said going of what avast said he thought we should put it in the chest just to be safe. He made that last file go into the Virus chest. So I was on the phone with Avast support and the guy did that thing where he took over my computer. Okay Malwarebytes Anti Rootkit and TDSSKiller found nothing either.

I have MalwareBytes Anti rootkit on here so I'm going to update that and run it next. Scan options disabled: Memory | Startup | Registry | Heuristics/Extra | P2P Scan options enabled: File System | Heuristics/Shuriken | PUP | PUM Scan type: Custom scan (C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\stwrt64.inf_amd64_neutral_b27a28765e622f18\stacsv64.exe|) Scan options enabled: Memory | Startup | Registry | File System | Heuristics/Extra | Heuristics/Shuriken | PUP | PUMĪlso I asked Malwarebytes to just scan the one that I haven't put in the Chest yet and it said it was fine. Just last night I ran Spybot Search & Destroy System Scan and it discovered a few low priority things like tracking cookies, nothing that jumped to my attention. I just ran SuperAntiSpyware and it came up clean, I also ran Malwarebytes Anti Malware and that came up clean too. I submitted the two that were in the virus chest to avast as potential false positives, how do I submit the one it said was a system file? I was afraid to move it to the chest in case it would mess up my computer and make me not able to use it. Yes I would like a malware person to look at it just to make sure. This has Avast Internet Security Program Version 2014.

I'm on a Hewlett-Packard p7-1235 with Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1.

Is anyone aware of a problem with the update or something? Or could these be legit files that somehow became infected? When I google them they look like audio files/drivers of some kind. I had last run one on 10/12 and had no problems.

I run boot scans about once a week so I find it hard to believe this is real malware. Looking at these files it appears they were created in 2012 back around the time I bought the computer, so I'm leaning towards this being a false positive because of how old these items appear, but I'm hoping someone here can tell me for certain.Ĭ:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\stwrt64.inf_amd64_neutral_b27a28765e622f18\stacsv64.exeĪccording to Avast's virus chest the last time the top two were changed was in April of 2012. I told two to move to the chest, the 3rd it said it was a windows system file and asked me again so I told it to ignore just to be on the safe side. It came up detecting three things it claims are infected with "Win32:Malware-Gen". I have Avast Internet Security and I ran a boot scan last night after the new update. Thus far no malware person has looked at this that I'm aware of.
