SKSE infected

[LoveMeSomeUlfric7]

Damn. Ninja'd. I wanted to post it :D

 

Apparently, AVAST thinks SKSE is an evil trojan. Virustotal disagrees (and, oddly, their AVAST also thinks it's safe. Maybe my heuristics settings?)

 

In case this happened to you, you're using AVAST and you don't know what to do:

1. Open it. Go to Maintenance > Virus Chest and restore skse_loader.exe
3. Go to Security > Antivirus > File System Shield > Exclusions and add skse_loader.exe as an exclusion. Check R, W and X.

 

EDIT: Also, you can right-click on skse_loader.exe while it's in the Virus Chest and submit it to their Virus Lab. Not sure if more people submitting it will make them label it a false positive sooner or it'll make it take longer as they'll have a few more reports to sift through.

 

EDIT2: Virustotal's AVAST now lists it as suspicious. They probably didn't update yet when I uploaded it for analysis.

I am so new to all this and computers in general. Could you please be so kind as to explain how to get my desktop icon back? I followed your steps so far :)

I'll try. Open the drive where AVAST is installed (for almost everyone, should be C). Then Program Files > AVAST Software > Avast. Look for AvastUI.exe, right-click > send to > desktop (create shortcut).

 

EDIT: I'm using Win7. Not sure where it installs by default on older Windows operating systems (or Win8).

This is A problem with the Avast antivirus and not either the game or SKSE - ONLY those people using Avast are affected.
