Avast 4.8 vs. Avast 5.0

Viruses and worms
1

Hello!

I have (had?) a Win32:Tiny-AFE infection since May (please refer to my previous post http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=59280.0) which I couldn’t get rid of, and which obliged me to perform a complete scan with Avast 4.8 everyday before using my laptop.

Yesterday I updated to Avast 5.0, and now when I carry out a complete scan it doesn’t detect Win32:Tiny-AFE anymore…

I am insecure as to wheter Avast 5.0 has eliminated this trojan or whether it simply doesn’t find it though it is still here…

Any info/help/suggestions are very appreciated!

Thanks and regards,

Graci

did you try the tools suggested in that tread ? malwarebytes and superantispyware ?

Hi Pondus,

Thanks for the replies.

Malwarebytes and Superantispyware found nothing.

Attached are the logs from MBAM and OTL (OTL.txt and Extras.txt, which I really don’t understand…)
Thanks again for your help!

Nothing evident on those logs - looks quite clean to me. As you experiencing anything out of the ordinary ?

Not really.
I just had all these alerts from Avast 4.8 for a Win32:Tiny-AFE everyday for over two months and now after I updated to Avast 5.0 nothing is shown…

What is the infected file name, where was it found e.g. (C:\windows\system32\infected-file-name.xxx) ?

Was it always the same file name and found in the same location ?

Really? Didn’t you take any action against the infection? :o
