IDP.HELU.PSE17 in powershell.exe

Visual Studio 2022 & this false positive is still there, I tried to repair visual studio 2 times now with the same error slipping to the marks.

IDP.HELU.PSE22 INSTEAD OF 20
It's the same error I think. I'm getting it every time i'm writing npm start in the terminal. So annoying…

Hello everyone,
I am using the free AVG version.
I have the same problem with the latest version today.
With windowspowershell and visualstudiocode when I run my development with the latest version of ionic serve.
AVG detects the IDP.HELU.PSE20 command line PowerShell and wants to quarantine it. But after reboot the message persists when I run the ionic serve is "I need to restart Windows to quarantine PowerShell".
I uninstalled AVG for 2 other antivirus without any detection of this.
Sorry for my poor English, I'm French.


There was nothing in quarantine folder although this is the screenshot I took when I got the error:

User-added image

Went to open Visual Studio (2017) I had installed since I purchased the laptop in January 2019 and it said install had failed and to re-run installer (I had updated components the other day although had not used it since then) so I re-ran the installer (downloaded from Microsoft in January 2019)  and received the AVG warning that IDP.HELU.PSE17 was found and AVG moved powershell.exe to quarantine.  I have seen previously posts that this is a recurring problem with false positives.  My AVG was updated 2-3 days ago.

Hello CC.
Sorry for the delay in responding.
Could you click 'See details' on the threat detection pop up and share a screenshot of that window?

I have about 15 computers in an office and 8 of them have been blocking powershell and showing those 2 hits. IDP.HELU.PSS17- File-less malware and IDP.HELU.PLN35- File-less malware. Both hits were blocked by the behavior shield. I have Malwarebytes business suite, and one of those PCs, Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomware popped up yesterday and said it blocked HxTsr.exe from running, which after some research is a normal Outlook file, but it can become compromised. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should do to mitigate any more risk of attacks?
