Windows 10: Windows 10 pro appdata files displayed as virus under symmantec

Hi guys,


i have some newly deployed windows 10 pro pcs in our work place.


Our antivirus happens to detect that the pcs are having "viruses" under the appdata folders as u can see below.

We're quite shocked about it as we did our OS installation via the given dvd disc and we didn't run other software sources.

We checked through from the internet and got to understand the purpose of appdata but i need to explain the issues and root causes for them appearing under symmantec antivirus.


How do i actually verify if these files actually contains malicious intentions? As you can see the items is actually originating from appdata\roaming folder.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

You can open a file created in another program, such as Lotus 1-2-3 or Quattro Pro, in Microsoft Excel the same way you would open an Excel file. You can then save the file in its original file format or as an Excel workbook using the standard Excel save commands. Files saved as Excel workbooks might not retain all of their original formatting, and features and formatting of an Excel workbook might not be available in other programs.
