What are these "threats" ???
Hi, I've been running windows 7 with windows firewall and windows defender activated but NOT microsoft security essentials. I had no other 3rd party antivirus protection at all until yesterday when I installed avast internet security. I was surprised that there were only 5 threats detected
One of the threats detected was from a zipped .lst (wordlist) file. Something about Unix, sendmail. I just left that alone. but here are the other 4 "threats" (pictures below). Avast wanted to move them to its "virus chest" so I let it. Now I'm just wondering if anyone can identify what exactly they are and how they got on my PC so I could perhaps avoid them in the future. Also, Notice how the info says the file was last modified at ~4pm, yet I ran the scan at 9AM the same day so unless avast and/or the "threats" invented time travel, that is impossible, so I'm also wondering if anyone knows why its saying that? thanks.
