New development - managed to work out how to run the kb824146scan tool, this is the result it gave - looks like I’m patched after all. The command I used was kb824146scan.exe localhost. So what’s the next step?

I too did a search on Google.com and it looked as though there might be more than one virus using this as a name:-( but the main one I agree looked like the Spybot one.

I’m beginning to think if I’m patched and Avast can’t deal with it, Sophos site says there’s an IDE to deal with it, maybe I should switch to that one to fix this and then come back to Avast later.
