Hi, I’m having trouble with this virus on my PC, avast! detects the virus but then it simply appears back again in the directory
C:\Users\omarhesham\AppData\Local\Temp\iswizard
I realise there is already a post about this problem on the front page however I do not want to clog that post with my results because the issues might not stem from the same source
I have followed the steps in the sticky and have attached all relevant logfiles except for aswMBR which I am running at the moment
