[Resolved] malware Generic.K!PV.

To Skyhigh. Have same problem. Contacted BitDefender support and sent my log file. Waiting for their instructions. Will post what I learn.

BitDefender support informs me that this is a "false positive". Update BitDefender and should resolve issue. My settings update every hour and scan daily and I'm still getting the detection of this susposed malware. So issue has not been completey resolved. Notified Biedefender of this and have not heard back as of today.
