Bu I beleive that my problem is connected. Here is what I wanted to write, will try again with separate thread.
Hello,
This is really ackward. I am using Avast HE for about 4 or more years now, and everything was fine - maybe just sometimes false alarms happened. I am not sure, but something could happen after last update. Am using Windows XP HE SP3.
The problem is, that I am getting many false, and funny alarms… See attachement. I am preparing to migrate to a new computer, so I’ve created a folder with a bunch of freeware software, which I am considering to use (aprt of it is visible on the screenshot). This evening I’ve tried some new system maintenace/claning up software, to check wheter they are better than CC Cleaner. I’ve ran Glary Utilities, removed tem files, registry entries etc., and also decided to defragment registry. System rebooted, Avast downloaded new database on start, and it all began…
When I’ve opened that folder and pressed right mouse button, system slowed down dramatically for maybe two minutes, and Avast began beeping. It said - you will never guess, that there is a virus in a free CdBurner XP… I’ve deleted it, but then it began beepig that there is a virus in another installation file… Weird, especially as for majority of them the source is cnet - download.com. I’ve closed the doler, and opened it again. This time only system slowed down for a minute, no beeps. I’ve decided to instal free Auslogics Disk Defragmentator, and Avast went mad again -screenshot shows that it disliked one of the files created during the installation process, there were three such alarms during the process…
I hope my description is rather ok. I’ve written about Glary, because I’ve used it for the first time, and either something is wrong with it, or with the Avast updfate. If with Avast, many more people should be screaming here :-(.
I had to resize the attachement, so sorry for GIF. I will try to upload the original PNG somewhere.
