Welcome to the forums, jack. :slight_smile:

What location on your workstation was this exe found?


it was found in the d drive where i have my project application folders…


OK … where on D drive? ???


Brontok virus is from indonesia country and i dont know avast can handle that or no.

You didn’t say why avast move it to the chest or delete it (not a good first option), file in use by another program, etc. ?

If you have XP, vista32bit or Win2k, you could enable a boot time scan. Right click the avast icon, select Start avast! Antivirus, Menu, ‘Schedule boot-time scan…’ Or see http://www.digitalred.com/avast-boot-time.php.
