system
11
I m not sure whtehr its a 98 thing because niko uses XP pro.The bit defender i use is the free version which is only an on demand scanner…not resident or running.On further investigating , the eicar.com file is now completly locking my system and only a reboot works.The avast detection bar springs up and the machine locks, although control alt delete is accessible and it shows asherve.exe not responding.Then all other programmes encounter errors and shut down.There is also an entry in the avast warning logs when this happens…
