Aura Posted June 21, 2017 ID:1137404 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Hi yardbird, When did you last install Windows Updates on your system? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yardbird Posted June 21, 2017 Author ID:1137408 Share Posted June 21, 2017 this is a used $200. book I don't think there were no windows updates installed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aura Posted June 21, 2017 ID:1137409 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Which means that your Windows 7 system is vulnerable to Double Pulsar, and that's why avast! is warning you. Your system isn't infected, it's just saying that your system is vulnerable to a CVE that has been patched back in March. I would start by installing all your Windows Updates, then see if avast! comes up with the same warning afterward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
