Hello,

11 days ago kaspersky started notifying me that a malicious object was detected, backed up, and then deleted. It has notified me of this about 3 times in the past 11 days, the first on June 5th and the most recent today.

This is the most recent report I have received from Kaspersky.

This is one of the first reports I got from Kaspersky regarding this.

so my question is, should I be worried about this? Is it a virus or just a false positive? If it is a virus, what can be done to remove it from my computer? I am not very knowledgeable about computers so any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Welcome to Kaspersky Community.

 

Checking the 2 detections, the result was the files were deleted, so no worries... they were different files (check their MD5 hashes), and were located in Chrome cache, You may try also to clean Your Chrome cache. Probably You visited some sites with malware on them.

 

Also check the add-ons installed in Your Chrome, if there is any suspicious one installed.

 

Depending on Your country region, You may also update to Kaspersky 21.13 version, You're currently in 21.9

Thank you, I did everything you asked. 
I saw taht you entered the website and also blocked the object, the strange part is that mine blocked it without entering the website, just by doing a google search it blocked it.

Yeah, that blocking before enter is even more secure ?
