Windows 10: Windows driver update.exe marked as virus by avast

Hello,


So today i noticed avast blocking a connection from windows driver update.exe saying that url is blacklisted


the destination of the file is in C:\Windows\Temp\ec444860876fe25bd993a70009686b36


so i wanna know is it safe to delete this and am not sure how i got that file from , running scans does not detect this file.

rundll32.exe detected as virus by Avast


Hi,

I have a big issue i have all the time a popup coming from Avast saying it has detected a virus in rundll32.exe

It comes when i open explorer or when set volume.

Now the worst is that i cant even setup the playback devices for my Audio, when i try to go to sound setting it just block it *Sad

I just installed this windows preview yesterday on brand new crucial SSD, all the updates are done (build 9860). And I haven't installed yet any other application then Firefox.

I didn't have any such virus alert on Windows 8.1 with same Avast antivirus, how installing Windows preview gave me a such virus ? or is it just false positive ? if yes how to be sure and how to prevent it to block it ?

Thanks for your help

AVG Update Cripples Windows

Switched to Avast! around a couple of months ago and it's been incredibly well behaved. I suggest it to anyone looking for a new anti-virus.
