I was attacked by an Adware program today which displays an html file in front of my desktop and behind my program icons. Avast has cleaned the adware virus but the file is still displaying upon reboot. ??
The file is C:\WINDOWS/wamhp.html
I’ve deleted the html file - now a white html page displays.
Did avast detect the adware or not?
Can you schedule a boot time scanning of avast?
Did you run other antispyware scannings? Like Ad-aware, SpyBot, Ewido and a-squared?
Are you using Windows XP?
Removing the file has only resulted in a failed call to open the html file hence the blank window you have to find and delete the call to the wamhp.html file.
Thanks for your help. Spybot found it. I ran scans with Avast, then hijackthis, then Spybot. Must have been a new adware program the others hadn’t found yet.
