Why, do you think you have one. Have you tried a boot time scan
well, i’m from italy, i’ll try to make you understand in some way, sorry for my english!
i’ve got windows vista, as i get the internet connection every internet page put too much time to get opened. for example when i want to search someting on google i have to wait about 3 minutes before it opens.
i’ve got an adsl connection, 2 mega. when i had a normal 56k modem it was faster, so a friend of mine told me that maybe i have a worm on my computer. is it possible?
thank you a lot

i scanned my computer and in the virus chest, in system files it had put
kernel 32.dll
winsock.dll
wsock32.dll
should i restore them?
but next to them it wrote - no virus-
what should i do?
please i need to go to sleep, i’m working tomorrow

Leave them where they are, in the System Files section of the chest. They are as back-up copies of the important originals, they can be used by avast ‘not the user’ if the original happens to get infected.
There may be more than one copy of each, as windows update might update the original and avast will make another copy.
So do not try to restore them, you would most likely also be stopped by windows from replacing in use system files.
