Gabriel Van Wyk IDP.Generic
AVG is identifying a potential Malware attack. Comes up with this message:
"One of your programs is behaving strangely, which could be a sign of malware."
Path: C:\Windows\System\cmd.exe
Infection: IDP.Generic
I am offered two actions to take - I select "Fix Automatically". But the message keeps reappearing, and I keep selecting the same option. This repeats constantly. (I don't want to select "Ignore")
I understand that I probably have some application that is using the Windows Command, but how can I find out from which application this is coming so I can attempt to remove or stop this from happening.?

I apologize for the inconvenience. This is a known issue and it can be fixed by updating your AVG program to the latest version. Please open AVG > Menu > Settings > update both virus definition and the program.
Restart the computer once and check if that fix the issue. If you face any difficulties, please share the screenshot http://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?urlname=How-to-create-a-screenshot to assist further.
