Hi all,
I would like to know if I should be concerned or not?
I ask this question because the other day viruses and spyware found their way onto my machine and Avast never detected them, I scanned a USB stick before using it and there was a virus on it. Usually as soon as I put removable media into my computer Avast scans it and a pop-up comes up and says that threat detected and blocked but on this occasion nothing happened I scanned and virus found no threat or warning messages or sounds came up at all.
I managed to remove the threats by using Superantispyware and Malwarebytes to remove the threats.
I am using avast free 5.0.507, I have Avast set on the following:
Heuristics Sensitivity High, Test whole files and Scan for potentially unwanted programs all these are check (tick) in their boxes.
I have all packers checked (ticked) I have this on all the shields except for the last two.
What should I do bout this small problem I have? I have been using Avast Free Antivirus for some years now and it has protected and served me well.
I have noticed that Avast is making my computer freeze as well and the only way I can unfreeze it is by turning my computer off and restarting it which is really FRUSTRATING especially when in the middle of something.
PLEASE HELP: Thanks in advance.
happy avast user
