My fren PC infected(i dont know the source-may be a ext drive)…Avast’s latest update(14/02/2008) detected the virus & takes the action i want(it can move the virus to chest,delete it,etc but cant disinfect it)…BUT the virus comes back again & again…In about half a minute,the on-access scanner detects it,asks for action,i chose delete ,it deletes the virus,and again in some seconds,the whole process repeats…The virus is found in all my drives ! HELP The info shown by avast is as under:
File name: C:\autorun.inf
Malware name: BV:Malware-gen
Malware type: Virus/Worm
VPS version: 080214-0, 14/02/2008 ==>> I am not very remember of version, but something like this.
