Hi. I just searched the forum and decided to register to ask you about this. Three questions, actually…
Avast (4.8 Home Edition) detected JS:ScriptIP-inf[Trj] in a zip file I downloaded it. Before I open anything, I always right-click the file and have Avast check it for me, so that’s how it was detected. But I wonder why it didn’t warn me in the middle of the download process? Because it did that before and I don’t get why it didn’t this time. The zip file was not password-protected and I didn’t change my Avast preferences. Is there a way I can make Avast always warn me in the middle of the download process?..
Ok, upon detection, I told Avast to delete the infected file (as opposed to quarantine it) and then I think there were some options in the alert window about “delete on boot/delete all” or something like that? I think it was all checked… Sorry, my Avast is in portuguese and I’m trying to remember as much as possible…
After I hit the “ok” on the Avast alert window and it closed, I proceeded to delete the infected zip file and then again from the recycle bin.
After that, I ran a complete Avast scan and it didn’t say anything else.
BUT… I did NOT reboot my computer yet.
I’m wondering if I did the right thing (or everything right) and if it’s safe to reboot?
I’m so sorry and I know this might sound a bit lame, but I’m not used to this (hardly ever happens) and now I’m wondering if anything might happen once I reboot… Especially since I don’t know what this JS:ScriptIP-inf[Trj] is supposed to do?.. Can I find that kind of information on the Avast website or only here in the forums? Anywhere else safe and reliable?..
Thanks much, your help appreciated.
