I just did a scan on my computer after downloading a couple games from www.g2a.com because I havent done a scan in a while.

I got this under threat found it said the severity was LOW but moved it to Avast Chest. Not sure what this is and I tried to google it didnt find clear answer. What should I do? What is this? Should I keeep it in chest or try and delete it? What does the Chest even do? Thanks

Sounds like it's just some sort of unnecessary Chrome Plug-In. Don't know why it's an exe file though. I'd probably get rid of it.

Your Avast Chest is very much like it sounds. It's a place where you keep things under lock and key; separate and secure from everything else. Your anti-virus program places anything it determines to be detrimental to your system in it's chest; locked away and secure from the rest of your system until you decide what you want to do with it.

Thanks, I just downloaded malwarebytes, and ran a quick avast scan after MB scan and got this ive never seen before.

Some Files Could Not Be Scanned

C

$Windows.~BT/Sources/SafeOS/.....Startnet
......abortpxe

All reading, FIle Cannot Be Accessed By the System

This is in the scan results of avast..any suggestions?

Boot into Safe Mode with Networking and try your scans again. Failing that, look up the name of what's failing. It may be something that another program like HitmanPro can deal with.
