ESET Alert: “Win64/Riskware.PEMalform.A” Threat Removed 30 Times

Hi everyone,

When I ran a scan with Norton, ESET displayed the following message 30 times:

“Threat removed: A threat (Win64/Riskware.PEMalform.A) was detected in a file Norton Security is trying to access. The file has been removed.”

According to the antivirus logs, the threat is associated with C:\Program Files (x86)\ExpressVPN\expressvpn-ui\00020037.tmp.

What could be the problem?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Only one real-time scanning AV should be installed. Otherwise, conflicts will occur between the two real-time scanning AV's.

Uninstall Norton or at a minimum, disable its real-time scanning.
