fkj, just few more questions:

  1. What version of avast! you are using? Home or Professional?

  2. How do you perform the scan: by Single User Interface (skin) or by a task into Enhanced User Interface.

  3. How is avast! set (Virus Page) to handle the virus into Enhanced User Interface: what actions is avast! allowed to do with them?

  4. avast! won´t be able to delete a file into recovery folder of ME (access denied). Disabling the recovery feature could help. But more than this, what virus and what files bring you trouble?
