Hello,
I really like this forum (unfortunate that I have to use it, but great!) so I hope that someone can be of assistance to me. I recently posted on another person’s thread concerning the same issue that they were having.
Attached is a pop-up that comes to screen every time I reboot or come out of hibernation. Though it looks legit, and other people (even from avast!) have posted that it is, when I clicked to download the new version of avast! nothing happened. Concerned, I ran a scan of my computer to find that I had 5 infected files from the date and time of supposed dl. I moved them to the virus chest and deleted them. Also, there was another file that couldn’t be removed that was identified as a decompression bomb in another user’s files. I tried to manually delete it, but after many failed attempts, gave up because I wasn’t that concerned because avast! more than likely mis-identified it.
After reading other posts on this same issue, I downloaded MBAM and ran both a quick scan and full scan and found nothing. Can someone please help to identify where this pop-up is located on my machine and assist in getting rid of it. The only viable solution I have seen is to uninstall avast! completely and use another av like MSE.
Thoughts…questions?
Please help!
