hi. i got rootkit on my laptop, vista home premium, and when i start my pc, after 4-5 mins i got a message that i got rootkit on my pc, its in ‘‘C:\Program’’ but i searched it and i didnt find anything, and i can delete it and ignore, when i press delete, it shows me new window from avast there is written that avast found virus in RAM, its dangerous to work when pc is in OS, and if i want to start a scan when i restart my pc, it scans . but when finished , i start my pc , same thing again?! P.S. its written too that ‘’ using a heuristic (i cant remember what)‘’
Does Avast give a file name on this ?
