    I have a file, AM_Delta_Patch_1.165.998.0.exe, on my computer that I don't know if it is malware or not.

    It is located in my C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download\Install folder. Avast! prevents it from running, which it attempts to do whenever my computer is turned on.

    I searched on Google and on the Microsoft Support page to no avail.

    You can upload the file to Virustotal. I doubt it is malware.

    Thanks Tim.

    VirusTotal reported all of the scans except for McAfee reported it as harmless. McAfee reported it as Heuristic.LooksLike.Win32.Suspicious.Q .
