AVG Free, states AWCC is a Rootkit?

Should I be concerned about this?

Welcome to the Dell Community  @delluser989 

If you do a Google search you will find many other people reporting false positive Rootkit warnings reported by AVG.

I archive Dell drivers on our server at work and AVG reports around 7-9 as Rootkits.

I got tired of the warnings every time I would log on, so I just deleted them.

Like @fireberd I use Malwarebytes Premium and Defender.

Best regards,

Its an AVG problem.   AVG is iffy from what I see on other forums.  All I use is the built in Windows Defender and Malwarebytes.

Yes. I suggest you take-it-up with AVG .

Here is a question for yall ... How is AVG still alive when Windows Defender is free, better, and included with Windows ?
