Hi David,

Thank you for answering so quickly.

“When you say. ‘the moved folder,’ was this within system restore, avast4 or are you talking about another location?”

I’m talking about the folder c:/Program Files/Alwil Software/Avast/Data/Moved.

“Clear your temporary internet files.”

I’ve cleared my cache in both Netscape and IE to empty the Temporary Internet Files folder. I do that regularly anyway. However the files causing the problem are in c:/Documents and Settings/Gillie2tat/Local Settings/Temp/avast4/, not in my Temporary Internet Files folder.

"you go to the virus chest and delete the files in it, either naviagate to it or Start avast Scanner, from the menu, select Virus Chest. This will show you all the files safely secured in the chest, from here you can delete them. "

Part of the problem is that Avast can’t put those files into the Virus Chest, it just comes up with an error saying it was unable to move the file though it is able to move the unp files to the Moved Files folder within Avast/Data. I tried navigating to the folder within the Virus Chest but none of the virus files are within it. If it shouldn’t scan certain folders why is it doing so and how do I stop it from doing so?
