My PC got Brontok-I. I installed avast home to clean up. It detected the virus and deleted infected files. But still virus warining window pops up occasionally when PC is idle. Everytime I saw this warning I delete the files but keep comming back.
Does this means avast failed to eradicate them?
What should I do
Update is regularly done so that virus definition is latest. Please advise.

I posted in wrong topic area… sorry
Try to clean with Boot-Time Scan Mode.
Avast will eradicate the virus before Windows Start in GUI mode
Hi mniya & iwannet,
