After booting up my computer today and launching Phoenix, Avast detected a virus and moved phoenix.exe to virus chest. Anybody else have this issue? have been playing past 3 days no issues... Is this a legitimate threat?...

It is not a threat and I would delete Avast. It is a horrible virus protection that adds tons of adware to your computer.

Drop it and let the Windows10 virus protection run on its own. Ever since I have dumped Avast and mcafee and elt Windows use its own virus protection I have had ZERO issues.

A tech told me this a couple years ago when he was cleaning up my computer from all the garbage Avast and Mcafee added LOL.
