HI guys,
I have few queries , kindly help me here.
1. Does AVG Anti virus software gets installed while installing some third party softwares without user intervention, particularly while installing JRE software?
2. Recieved the below alerts in some other Anti-virus tool
 a).Manipulation of autostart related system files- C:\Windows\Temp\da40f37d-4f4b-43d7-9c77-\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft-windows-coreos-16bit_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.19041.1_none_76debc9c86c26bf9\system.ini
b).Driver written to a temporary directory -C:\Windows\Temp\da40f37d-4f4b-43d7-9c77-*\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft-windows-win32k_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.19041.1_none_6ee4873e39e4503b\win32k.sys
c).Root certificate installed
d) ***-Windows connected or attempted to connect to 192.168.29.1 99 times over 87 or more unique ports. Ports accessed include 21, 22, 23 and 84 more…
why it is doing portscan & connecting to private IP? "C:\Program Files\AVG\Antivirus\AVGSvc.exe" /runassvc .
e).Rare SSH Session to 192.168.29.1
f)Rare WinRM Session to 192.168.29.1 g) Rare SSH Session to 192.168.32.2
h)Password-related Mozilla files were read by a non-Mozilla process.

are these activities are done by AVG Anti virus software or is this caused by any malware ?
