The avast chest is a protected area where it can’t get out and nor can it be run by any outside program.

I can’t say if it did any damage before it was detected all you can do is run other tools (that are more specialised in anti-spyware/trojan detections) to check for that. But if the files and registry entries mentioned in the in the report you (and google results) mentioned it is unlikely.

If you haven’t already got this software (Item 1) freeware, download, install, update and run it, preferably in safe mode.

  1. If using winXP AVG anti-spyware (formerly Ewido). Or SUPERantispyware Or Spyware Terminator. Or a-Squared free if using win98/ME.
  2. Ad-Aware SE Personal Edition
  3. Spybot Search and Destroy
