Trojan:W32/GenInflated.B

SuperSafe antivirus scan has detected Trojan:W32/GenInflated.B but has been unable to deal with it.

I suppose that means I still have it.

What is the recommended action to remove it?

Good spot. Will get straight on it.

22H2, you should be on 23H2.....

"2024-02 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5034765)" was installed on 14/2/24
Power Automate seemed to arrive with that update which also put Copilot on the PC with an icon in the taskbar.
I have uninstalled Power Automate, then run the Supersafe Virus Scan which has found no harmful items.

I can't tell you what is best to do, I have never heard of this Power Automate Desktop & it is not on my Windows 11 PC. From reading about it, I would say that it is really aimed at business users. I would try uninstalling it & see what happens.

I have found two articles online which might help me.

This one on the F-Secure support web site and this one on a web site called withsecure.com

Referring to the latter, I find that the app called Power Automate Desktop arrived on my PC on 16 February during a routine Windows Update.

I have checked the other PC, and it also has Power Automate Desktop since 16 February, but the Supersafe scan does not detect the suspect file.

Obviously I want to fix the error. Which of the above approaches would be best. Manually delete the apparently offending file as per F-Secure, or uninstall and reinstall Power Automate Desktop, or even just uninstall it, as I don't know that I have a use for it.
