False positive check(?)

Version 5.029 detected something new. Is it a FP? If not, what other scans should I run to make sure to remove the infection?

Hello,

@Rufus415 : Yes, this pop-up informs you that nothing has been found, so nothing will be shown in the logfile nor in the software's interface.

Thanks for your feedback.

If you don't want to delete them, just unch...
