I did a full scan with avast and it picked up one virus.
I put it in the virus chest so here’s some information if it helps.
Name: MEMORY.DMP
Original Location: C:\Windows (That’s all it says)
Last changed: 4/27/09 6:16:14 AM
Transfer Time 5/4/09 9:30:59 PM
Size of file: 215865424
Virus: HLLP-Vova 10.1 -B
File ID: 7
What should I do?!
This is my second time encountering a virus, my first time turned out to be a file that came with alienware computers from information from google searches.
Anyway, I was able to move it into my virus chest but I’m scared it has done some damage before because I barely started doing a full scan today since I don’t full scans everyday, just once a week or so.
Any help or advice or something would be appreciated kindly! I haven’t deleted the virus yet, I don’t know if it’s an important file (I’m not a computer wizard :P) so thanks in advance for the help.
EDIT:
I just scanned the file while it was in the virus chest and it still said there was a virus so I think it’s not a false positive. Heres a log:

Once again, thanks!
