Avast BootUp Scan

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

An Avast bootup scan produced the following mesage:

File C:Recycler\Nprotect\00000509.exe is infected by win32:sdBot-266 [ Trj ]

As I have a USB keyboard I can’t delete the virus and it doesn’t show on the virus scan in Windows. How can I delete this virus?

Can Avast be configured to automatically delete a virus during the bootup scan?

Hi,

  • empty the trash, and also clear the trash from Norton-Protect
  • also make SURE that you have all Windowsupdates applied
  • best post here a hijackthis-Log for diagnosis: → http://tomcoyote.org/hjt
  • read the link “VirusRemoval” below in my sig :wink:
