OK, essexboy will be in bed now, almost 3am in the UK, so he will be back later this evening and he will give removal advice for his tools and any other salient information.

Hi,
I just did a boot scan and found an infected file in this directory C:\windows\setup\SCRYPT\RemoveWAT.exe, win32:PUP-gen. (if i remember it correctly)

I’m not sure what to do with it since it’s in windows setup folder. this is the only one avast detected and this is the first time also. would really appreciate any advice what to do with (should i move it to chest n my system will not be affected?). thanks in advance >,<

You should create your own new topic as A) your issue is unrelated to this topic and B) would just confuse/hijack this one. Click the New Topic at the top of this page, http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=4.0.

Are you happy now ?
