Please let's make this a thread where we can count all the people that got either an Antivirus notification or something similar.

But an app having access to it can make sensitive changes to your system without your knowledge.

meh windows itself is already one giant piece of unstable american spyware so tbh it doesn't really matter that much

Yea avast is going off over this. Are the Chinese spying on us?
AI feedback:

The file "powershell.sys" is not a legitimate system file, and its location inside *C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0* is highly suspicious. No official Microsoft or Windows installation includes a .sys driver in this directory.

Avast blocking it means it was likely flagged for:

Being a known vulnerability (or exploit)
A backdoor or rootkit
A potential hacker exploit


CCP wants my hentai folder! I KNEW IT.
