I believe that I failed to remove immunization from the old version of spybot when I installed the newer version. This may have been the reason for the “failed to read DNS Host” during the first Avast boot scan. I did an update on the new version of spybot, did the immunization with the new version, did a normal spybot scan, and did a rootkit scan. This time when I repeated the Avast boot scan things were more normal and Avast found “andora.class” to be infected.
Between the using of both programs I believe an infection or a false positive has been detected and dealt with. Something was wrong and I had noted a slow down. That is why I was using both programs.
I have been depending on Avast to do the whole job of defending my computer for a long time but now attacks seem to be on the rise and I have started using more tools to cross check and somethings maybe having conflicts.
