certain files canmnot be scanned

Hello. Last week I inherited a virus which I could not clear ( neither did Avast), had to get the PC to the service guy who cleaned it. Screen kept on popping up for paysite to clean PC, $ 49.00 - $79.00., which they infected to begin with. This is Fraud. Well anyway, after cleaning unit, Avast is unable to clean a list of files, how can I fix this?
Thank you

Hello Buchtes,

Can post the file names with the path here, or, the screenshot of it.

Hello MNB. All these files are offline, I am not very computer efficient so please be easy on me. Do not know how to get a screen shot, and can’t copy these files, there are about 30 of these.
c:\Documents and Settings\rpnpshrimp.dll
c:\Documents and Settings\clntxres.dll
c:\Documents and settings\pagedata.js
are just a few

please explain

thank you

Do you connect your computer to any network which has multiple computers connected to it?

And, Do you use real player or did you use?

Care to tell us about your machine for reference

no, no network, yes I do use Real Player which I had to reinstall after repair.
Here is what happened: last week I collected a virus which Avast could not cure as explained at the beginning. PC repair Guy fixed PC to where it would run and I could use Mozilla Firefox and Gmail. I run Wind. XP Home Edition 5.1.2600 SP3 in a Dell Dimension 4550.

thank you all so far for your advise

I guess a few files might be of the real player. And such offline files cannot be scanned. Please post a screenshot of the scan log. For that, click on avast tray icon(orange ball) > scan computer > scan logs > double click on the results log and maximize the log window.

Firstly, with the window open that has the Screenshot, tap the Print Screen/SysRq Key (next to F12 on the keyboard).

Close out of that screen…Go Start > All Programs > Accessories > Paint.

This will open a new window…from the Top Left, click on Edit > Paste. (This will put your screenshot in the Paint window.)

Next, Go File > Save As (giving it a ‘name’ rather than “untitled”) > from the drop-down box under the name > select .JPEG > Save In: > Desktop > Save > exit out of the ‘Paint’ window > navigate to your Desktop; the .jpg image file will be visible.

Come back to this post and click reply.

Hit additional options and in the attach field, browse for your file on the desktop and hit post.

cannot get to copy screen shot, on Print Screen Button I need System Rq which I do not have the software. Please advise, thank you

if doing this make sure to put in a cage (rar) and password protected. but it is not right to do that without an advance knowledge about the thing

its not right that we are going to guess what happen in your system
if you need help give us information so that we can analyze before we can give further advice :wink:
do you have Malwarebyte antimalware in your system?

yes I do have Malwarebytes Anti Malware installed

c:\Documents and Settings\rpnpshrimp.dll
c:\Documents and Settings\clntxres.dll
c:\Documents and settings\pagedata.js

i don’t have this java script and dynamic link library in my C:/documents and setting

will maybe you try to restore what you collected maybe its a service host of the program that initiate at the start up[/s]

edit: will im just guessing, i did not see the path file that keep popping up. and what kind of list you are trying to clean :slight_smile:

you lost me

Please see

MWSnap is a small yet powerful Windows program for snapping (capturing) images from selected parts of the screen.

Make sure you set it up to keep screenshots in My Pictures Folder for easy location.

Please use .gif file save type then select Additional Options… then Browse…

hope this helps

can you show the full paths?? (see Picture)
if your name is in the paths you can edit in paint.

can’t expand or how to?

you can go to your scan result and that line between file name and severity can be move.
picture it again

edit: also the full of status

no can do, as soon as I move the arrow away from the line it’s gone and I can’t shoot it with screenshot
please advise.

i mean in your scan result. the avast scan result not in the picture
point the cursor on the line between file name and severity then press left click the mouse and move it.

that’s exactly what I did
