I think your antivirus not updated and therefore you’re getting this issue and so I would like to suggest you to update the antivirus on your system and after that make scan on your system and then your issue will get solved. First go to the antivirus website and after that make update your virus and once you finish the updating and after that make scan on your system and after that let me know the issue.
