Continued pop up indicating "AMSI detected harmful content Reason: LNK/Dldr.Agent.VPLZ"

Mark393

Hello,

My F-secure software continually reports (every 5 minutes or so) the following message in the Windows notification area:

"AMSI detected harmful content Reason: LNK/Dldr.Agent.VPLZ"

I have run a full scan and nothing was found. I also ran multiple antimalware and antivirus software programs, and nothing has been found. There was an infection on my computer, but I thought it was resolved.

How can I find out what is causing this notification?

Thanks!

Mark

Could you please take a screenshot of the notification and share it with us?

Based on the detection, "LNK" refers to a shortcut file (.LNK), which may be used to execute malicious commands. To investigate further, please check the detection details in the F-Secure app:

1. Open the F-Secure app
2. Go to Events > View All
3. Locate the exact file path of the detected item and remove the file if possible.

If you need any further assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re happy to help.

Thank you, and have a wonderful day.
