I got this message on my computer after running Avast’s recommended boot scan. (THANK YOU, Avast5!)
Avast RootKit Found
MBR:\.\PHYSICALDRIVE0
File C:\ProgramData\AlwilSoftware\Avast5\arpot\2f7eed0-119c-0.dat
is infected by Win32:Alureon-TJ[Rtk]
And this message altho I don’t know if it’s related to the above or not.
File C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Temp\87F3.tmp is infected by Win32: oficla=BW[Trj]
Needless to say, I will be calling my techie who works on my PCs since the infected PC’s the one I do business on.
Any ideas what happened? Avast has prevented several crashes from occuring the last couple of days. And so far, no viruses on my back up PC. But it really shocked me reading about thevirus in Avast’s software. Besides Avast 5, I had Spybot on there. It seems to have been completely knocked out.
Thank you.
