A lot of Windows users are getting the IDP.Generic virus detection on their files. Basically, your antivirus will send you a notification that it caught a file infected with IDP.Generic. This IDP.Generic threat isn’t related to a specific file so there is a wide range of files that might be detected as infected with IDP.Generic.

For example, some users were experiencing the IDP.Generic threat with their game files whereas some users saw this threat while using a python file.

What is IDP.Generic?
Although this threat detection isn’t specific to antivirus the majority of the users who experienced this was using Avast antivirus. Obviously, when your antivirus detects such viruses in files related to your games, you wouldn’t be able to play your games or other programs.

So, a lot of users are worried and want to make sure whether it’s malware or a false positive.

What is IDP.Generic trojan?
IDP generic means that the detection was detected by an Identity Protection detection component of your antivirus and it is a generalized file that got detected. Your files will be flagged by this whenever the file does something identical to malware that triggers the flag.

Should I ignore it?
In general, you shouldn’t ignore any warnings from your antivirus programs. Now speaking of idp.generic, although most of its cases are false positives, you still shouldn’t ignore it completely. What we recommend is to either use another antivirus program to see if that catches the same file or use VirusTotal.

VirusTotal is a website where you can upload files and it will tell you whether the file contains any malicious component. Click here and click Choose File then select the file flagged by your antivirus. Check if it flags the file or not. If it doesn’t then simply ignore the warning and add the file to the whitelist.
