hi!
my Avast antivirus 4.6 manages to find viruses but can’t quarantine, heal, or remove some of them.
I don’t know how to do.
I have 13 viruses like this.
thanks to bring me solutions.
Files that are in use can’t easilly be removed with ending the process.
- What OS are you using? is it up to date?
- What avast! version and VPS file (virus database) number, e.g. 0436-4 (see about avast!)
- What was the virus name, what was the filename, where was it found
example (C:\windows\system32\infected-filename.xxx)?
If you have XP then you could try scheduling a boot-time scan from within avast.
sorry can you explain “OS”?please.
virus database: 0509-4
name of viruses: trojan horse
they are located in C:_RESTORE\TEMP\
e.g. C:_RESTORE\TEMP\A0008280.1
I’m actually using Windows Me
???
Operational system. You’ve already answered: Windows Me
Disable (and enable it after) System Restore
- Right click on the “My Computer” icon on the Windows desktop.
- Click “Properties”.
- Click on “Performance”.
- Click “File system”.
- Click “Troubleshooting”.
- Check “Disable system restore”.
- Click on OK.
- Close and RESTART your system.
After that, do another scan and if your system is clean then
Re-enable system restore
;D
thanks for helping me
“disable system restore” was already checked
the solution was to enable it.
thanks a lot!
