The Blue stars do not have time for jokes ;D

Hey…I’m color blind so my 5 stars are 5 stars anyway.

Take care…My eyes are tired reading this stuff.
Going out in the yard to bag leaves.

Have a nice day fellas

Techie101 ;D

I’ve right click on the icon in the systray, then chosen Start avast antivirus.

After memory test, click on the icon “Folder selection”, and then check the box near C:. In selected paths, I have "C:"
last thing I did click on OK.

After that, a screen telling me that scan local drives is set to off, scan removable media is set to off, scan selected folder is set to on. Then I click on the arrow ( start ).

I’m waiting for the result.

After scan complete, result is : no virus.

Files .xml generate

Task Statistics

Number of opened files: 55635

Number of tested files: 55306

Number of tested folders: 2381

Number of infected files: 0

Number of files not tested due to an error: 35289

Date of last scan : not done yet.

I haven’t seen where I can choose the HDD icon.

The HDD icon is on the splash screen. Looks like a box.

Yep… … above the ‘folder’ icon is the ‘removable media’ icon, above that is the ‘local disk’ (hard drive) icon … … unless I’ve been sniff’in the wrong glue again :-\

I’ve found the icon.
No more problem : the date of last scan is OK.

Thank you for all.

Well, you are most welcome. :smiley:

Hi Fletch,

Gee this is an old thread.

Sorry, I can’t quiet make out from the imbedded quotes, are you asking a question, do you have a problem??

Hi There I’m having the same problem, but mine says a virus was found in _RESTORE\TEMP\A00031.cpy and then it gives me the popup window asking me what I want to do like delete the file move the file. Whatever I choose it doesn’t work. it says access denied, When I check manually my directs I find a _RESTORE\TEMP but no *.cpy files When I try another Scanner like avg it reports no viruses only avast reports a virus.

please help thanks.

Fletch,

You did some groundwork by searching the forums… well done. :slight_smile: But you probably picked the wrong thread. :wink:

If you have another look around, you might find reference to scanning in ‘safe mode’ etc.

I guess the file you ‘can’t see’ is part of the windowns restore system and won’t be shown unless you turn that option on in the view file types of explorer (not just the system/hidden files… look further down the list).

Anyway, I HATE advising what to delete. If no one else joins in, can I suggest you start a NEW topic.

Good luck
W.

re:Walker yep I’m having a couple of probs…the date not showing up correctly and it displays a virus which cannot
be deleted or moved etc.

Thanks

Re:Walker, okay One more…this program is up to date and will not delete this virus I haven’t tried uninstalling yet, but soon. then reinstalling.

My next post will be a different topic…

Take care

Fletch,

Yes I understand, but have you tried scanning in ‘safe mode’??
and then before deleting check for other references in the forum.

W.

Fletch, you probably has Windows ME. This folder will be empty if you ‘disable’ the System Restoration (I think there is an icon for System into Control Panel and the option for this disabling). Boot the computer. Enable System Restoration again. I think the files will gone away. Probably they are ‘protected with a internal password, gived by Windows’ and could not be accessed or scanned. It’s quite safe to delete them by the way I have mentioned.
