Threat secured! It says... SMB:CVE-2017-0144 [Expl]

Hi, I get this message constantly popping up when I have my computer running. I have Windows 7 x64 enterprise all up to date. I have done virus scan both with AVG and other software's and it's all saying everything is okay. What is is message? Should I reformat?

Hello Farsh,

I apologize for the inconvenience. Do you receive this popup when you scan your PC with AVG? or When you working on the computer. Also, let me know if this file [SMB CVE 2017] is a legitimate file to assist further.

I have the same since more than a week, every day up to five times. It's only when I am connected with the LAN of my workspace, not at home.
And the notice is English in the main part, German in the details (I am german and my AVG is too). Sometimes there are up to seven equal windows poping up at the same time, sometimes only one.
But every time the IP is different!

Deep Scan shows no problems. Please find out what that is!

Hello Andre,

I understand the inconvenience.
I request you to update your AVG Internet Security program and check whether you get the same threat detection.

Hi,
I have version 17.6.3029 and automatic update via standing order. Or is there something I don't understand regarding the updates?

Thank you for the information, Andre.
Are you using AVG Antivirus business edition?

I have the same thing, popping up 10 times a day.
How can I disable it except for uninstalling AVG and replacing it by another similar product?

Hello Oscar,
We can certainly take a look into this.
May I know the AVG program (AVG Antivirus Free/AVG Internet Security) you have installed on your computer?
Could you share a screenshot of the AVG Detection with "see details" page to proceed further?

This should be a false alarm. May I know the version of AVG Antivirus free installed on your PC?
To check that, open AVG Antivirus free interface.
Click on "Menu-->About".

Having same pop-up - even when browser is NOT open.
Same screen as shown above - pops up 8 to 10 times before stopping for a few hours and then pops up again.  System is on latest version of AVG Business with definitions updated automatically (5 hours ago).

Have four other computers that are identical - they do not have problem.

Michael, General topic info.. "Business products" support.. For assistance have a look @ this AVG webpage (https://support.avg.com/business_contact_form?l=en_US). Please be informed that this Community forum basically deals with 'home' version of AVG products. Furthermore the "Business products" area has now been removed from the 'Community topics' list @ the top LHS of this page. Finally please be informed that the support for "Business products" is not now available within this Community.
