360 is great shit in my opinion, it is absolutely the same as malware, it changes your computer, crashes it. Okay maybe it's because I tried the CN version and the International version acts better a bit.

BitDefender, MSE, Avira/AVG is recommended. Avast always report fake cases, not recommended.

That's impossible though. All contents (include the updates as well) by user DC is under control by him and they are virus free (meaning they don't have viruses or any type of malware). The most probably is your Antivirus software detect it as a malware which is a false positive and not a real malware at all. Some antiviruses might fail sometimes when's coming about detecting a malware or not.

What antivirus software do you use?

The best anti-virus is your brain. I can't get tired enough of saying that. I do advise doing regular scans with anti-malware software (I recommend Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, the free version. The pro version has realtime protection, but once again, you don't really need that), but having an anti-virus nowadays is a waste of time and resources while it's running in your PC's background. I haven't used an anti-virus for years, never got a virus. Torrents, porn, you name it. You only get viruses out of them if you're dumb because most of them are so easily identifiable.

Worse thing about anti-viruses is that they let tons of adware and other minor malware in the PCs (trust me, I've been formatting and fixing lots of PCs these past couple of years, you won't believe how people are so surprised when their PC is so bloated and they're like "oh but I had an anti-virus!") but are so prone to false positives, like now when it detected CS2D....

So yeah, ditch your anti-virus and get an anti-malware and scan your PC on a bimonthly basis.

It should be virus free unless I have a virus which secretly infected my entire system without getting detected...

CS2D is a hot candidate for false positives because of it's characteristics. It's a small binary which accesses the hard drive and the network. That's really suspicious
