An on-demand scan did NOT work. However, I removed NOD32 and instructed Avast to perform a boot scan, and restarted. It found all 3 infections at boot. I ignored them to make sure I could find them when Windows was open, as well. Sure enough, sirens and warnings, followed by the proper procedure. I’d take that as an obvious sign that NOD32 and Avast are [i]definitely NOT compatible![/i] Upon seeing it effeciently in action, I’m satisfied that the protection provided will be sufficient. Thanks for the acknowledgement and tips. Cheers.
