I’m running AVG Free on a Windows 7 system. I keep getting a popup that says that taskeng is infected, but when I run a check on that file, it says that there’s no malware found. How do I stop that popup?

Hello @Jim_Weinberg,

Apologies for the delayed response, and thank you for reporting this.

Unfortunately, the information currently available is not sufficient for us to submit the detection to our Threat Lab for review as a possible false positive.

Could you please provide either:

  • A screenshot of the detection alert with the Detection ID visible, usually shown at the bottom of the alert; or

  • An AVG support file, following the instructions in this article. Once the support file has been submitted, please share the File ID generated in Step 5.

This information will help us investigate the detection further.

Thank you for your patience.
