For some reasons I don't think this is an actual threat. I have just formated my laptop, and none of my other security apps detected it as a threat. Would you mind confirming ? Thanks a lot

There is malware that hides "My Computer" from the start menu in an attempt to make it harder to access the file system thus making it harder to collect samples and/or kill the infection yourself . If you have chosen to remove this option yourself please use the ignore function to avoid seeing this detection in the future .

Yeah, actually I did remove the My Computer option from the Start menu myself. Thanks for such a clear explanation
