barcaheatlifer Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 (edited) 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. Event: Object deleted User: LAPTOP-NQ100NIH\batre User type: Initiator Application name: chrome.exe Application path: C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application Component: File Anti-Virus Result description: Deleted Type: Trojan Name: HEUR:Trojan.Script.Generic Precision: Heuristic Analysis Threat level: High Object type: File Object name: f_000058 Object path: C:\Users\batre\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache\Cache_Data MD5 of an object: 13E507433D208C297782573B8FA5DA8B This is the most recent report I have received from Kaspersky. Event: Malicious object detected User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM User type: System user Application name: avp.exe Application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Kaspersky Lab\Kaspersky 21.9 Component: File Anti-Virus Result description: Detected Type: Trojan Name: HEUR:Trojan.Script.Generic Precision: Heuristic Analysis Threat level: High Object type: File Object name: f_003699 Object path: C:\Users\batre\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache\Cache_Data MD5 of an object: 48DFC046584EA8CACF123D5E61AE082B Reason: Expert analysis Databases release date: 5/18/2023 9:06:00 PM 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.

harlan4096 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 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 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazuka Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 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.

harlan4096 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Yeah, that blocking before enter is even more secure 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
