Re: Avast

there is a malware or a lurking virus in your system.
The AVG was infected because it was not updated earlier.
there is a virus circulating the net coupled with much hacking going around.
I don't know what they are after in personal PCs. except to fish email adds and
creditcard info ludged in the cookies referenced to temp files in the system out of the user sight
but visible and retrievable to the intruder.
buy a system scanner that loads from a CD.

As my setup for AVG8 seems to be faulty I have installed Avast. I can't say
that I like it. Avast takes over at bootup to do a scan instead of running in
the background like good old AVG. I know it says that I can press escape to
stop it but that seems to defeat the object.
This morning Avast said that it found a virus in one of the Windows System
32 files. It would not repair and when I clicked any other options like send to
vault, delete or whatever I was asked if I really meant to do this as it was
a Windows file.
I am afraid to remove anything that says it is a Windows file so did nothing
at this stage. I am really not sure what to do. If only my copy of AVG8 was
working properly. It says the scan cannot complete because of corrupt files.
I also downloaded a copy of Avira but I cannot seem to get that to work
properly either. I would appear to be doing something that should be very simple
very wrong.
Please advise.

Chris
