I installed Unity Hub today along with Unity 6, and my Avast anti-virus is saying there is a rootkit in the Unity files. Is this real or just a false alarm?
I didnt know unity has rootkit built in
You downloaded unity from chinese website?
Avast is the rootkit on your computer: FTC Order Will Ban Avast from Selling Browsing Data for Advertising Purposes, Require It to Pay $16.5 Million Over Charges the Firm Sold Browsing Data After Claiming Its Products Would Block Online Tracking | Federal Trade Commission
If you don’t do dirty thing on your computer and downloaded Unity from the official website, it’s just a false alarm.
I recommand to remove Avast from your computer, you will stop losing time with issues like this (and will improve you computer performance). The best anti-virus is yourself.
