Threat Detected then Disappeared

Soup_pass

So I wanted to update my Video card driver, I used Device Manager to update my driver, but it failed. Then I used NVDIA GeForce Experience for update instead and still same result. I realized every time the installation is in about 5%, SOPHOS would pop-up and will say that there is a Threat detected Virus/Mal FakeAV-mr something like that. and when I clicked the notification, the threat appears for a second and disappears before I could do anything. I'm using Windows 8

    the log says it has been removed. But still, I tried to update my driver. then the warning pops out again. Then I checked the log and it says that the Malware has been removed. for the nth time. 

    also, this may be not related, I tried to run a full scan on my PC. There were no threats but there are folders (I think) that are locked and Sophos can't access. I checked the location and if not all, they are mostly App Data -> browser folder.
