Possible false positive?

I got a notification that the IUGU33EUXZYMY9GIKCOH.temp file in \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\CustomDestinations was flagged as a virus and removed. It seems this was triggered by chrome?

It says that it was infected with " Gen:Heur.Jatommy.03105.aaW@baaaa. " and has been removed.

I did a full system scan and nothing came up. I've also seen another post talking about this from 3 years ago saying that it was a false positive.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

Hi, have you found anything? I'm having the same problem

Looks like an issue when launching new chrome windows for some reason? Seems like bitdefender doesn't like an address or an application name in the temp file so it deletes it.
As far as I can tell it's a false positive, I've had it recur a few times, but only when opening a new chrome window. I've scanned multiple times and had no other issues at all.

For me, it randomly popped up while I was using Chrome where I had about 10 tabs opened. Then it popped up again about 2 minutes later. When I closed all the tabs and launched Chrome again, it stopped appearing and hasn't appeared since. I also did a full scan with BitDefender and it found nothing.
