i have a urgent question. my friends comp attacked by brontok worm and it prohibit us to remove it even from F8 mode.
i’m planning to use boot-time scan to eliminate it. but since it also block any windows with AVAST string on it, is there anyway I can use boot-time scan without using Avast interface?? ::slight_smile:

What is your system, can you access dos (win9x) if so then download the dos version of avast here http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_77_for_dos.html

Or download this worm removal tool http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.sober.removal.tool.html

or use the avast tool http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_cleaner.html

But more info is required please

You may be able to navigate to the file that opens the simple user interface in windows explorer ‘C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashSimpl.exe’ and double click that, if that opens ok you should be able to schedule a boot-time scan from the menu.

Another way to try and ‘Schedule Boot-Time Scan’ using RejZoR’s AEC avast! External Control Tool.
