Running Avast 8.0.1497 with latest updates and virus definitions. I just ran a full virus scan with default settings and came back with zero viruses. How ever it said it couldn’t check some files due to passwords on archive files, most were .js or I think .pup files.
No the program did not recommend doing a boot scan, but I have always done a boot scan as it runs before other programs hook into the operating system. I ran malwarebytes yesterday and only found some pup (probably unwanted programs) which I then selected and deleted.
Now back to the bootscan, is there a rootkit or something keeping the boot scan from running? I should be able to run a bootscan on a HP Windows 7 laptop? It bothers me that it won’t run…
Thanks for any other ideas that you may have…
