1st time using Avast guys so excuse the inexperience.I have recently installed Windows 7 on a new computer and ran a full scan using Avast.To my surprise it has found 2 threats.
C\Windows\AppCompat\Programs\RecentFileCache.bcf
C:\Windows\System32\CodeIntegrity\bootcat.cache
Both have a High severity rating and status is shown for both as
Threat:Rootkit:system modification
If anybody could shed any light on this i would appreciate it.
upload suspicious file(s) to www.virustotal.com and test with 43 malware scanners
when you have the result, copy the URL in the addressbar and post it here so we can see
No not really,the computer has only been up and running since last Thursday although Windows Explorer did shut down and restart earlier for no apparent reason…As well as Avast i have Malwarebytes and SpywareBlaster installed,am using Windows own firewall at the moment and use Google Chrome as my browser.
I would say running hitman pro and just to be safe to be a contradiction. There have been many cases that essexboy can attest to were hitman pro has caused major problems in deleting an important file.
