Hi AVG,

Same issue here. Very annonying. It is flagging powershell.exe which is running an encoded command. I think the encoding is flagging it. Running encoded comamnds is valid.

Hello.

I have never gotten this warning about IDP.ALEXA.53 before. It is warning me about powershell.exe when I was using Visual Studio Code on May 18, 2021 when I launched the Terminal from within VSCode. Is this a false positive?? Or is it serious. Googling doesn't seem to provide strong evidence. I have not downloaded anything lately, typically only use this program while connected to Udemy course sites. I also just completed a Windows update yesterday with no problems. I have noticed over time that when I open task manager, sometimes the Disk usage is high or at 100% though. Please advise–I see someone else also posted seeing this warning today when running VSCode and node, which is when my warning came up–I had used the command npm start to launch the local server bundled with Create-React-App. I use this a lot–please advise ASAP.

Thank you. Tami Schultz
