I just bought a cheap $8 mic from a surplus store, when I got home and plugged it in, my anti virus instantly blocked a virus/malware called F://VoiceClient.exe

I also noticed that when windows was loading the drives, it said the microphone has a mass storage USB drive.

unplugging and replugging it in brings up the virus blocked from my anti virus

I'm just wondering if any of you have heard of this, and if I should be worried about it.

Edit: I'm using Avast anti virus and I'm unable to remove the 'virus'

upload it to virus total, and let it be checked by hash.
it might be a legit file, and malware makers are using its name for their malicious files.
VT will tell you, if you upload it.
