Avast has been constantly detecting win/sys32/psactive as part of some sort of rootkit Win32 evo-gen which is their default “I dunno” generic.The psactive.exe file in my sys32 is (on right click) a legitimate windows file and in the right place.
Coincidentally (or is it) a persistent boot call error for the non existent pschmdrf.dll that has been plaguing me forever, and apparently unsolvable as covered extensively without result in the following thread, has now miraculously disappeared::
Maybe Avast has been the problem all along? It keeps requesting to delete psactive.exe, doesn’t actually delete the file when it says it did, won’t place it in the virus chest when that action is selected and it says it has, then performs a pointless boot scan that finds nothing. Now I feel like a bit of a twit for complaining about free software.
Here is a further clusterbomb of ambiguous conflicting results from metascan:

The computer exhibits no other suspicious activity whatsoever apart from the daily avast alert. I lean towards trusting Kapersky + Malwarebytes + Fprot. Any thoughts?
