I formated my pc 1 month ago and i am using my pc for drawing and checking e mails from my trusted friends. Yesterday i scaned my pc with Antivir and it reported that the pc is clean. Today i scanned with Avast! and it says there is a worm ( Suela-1042 in D:\pagefile.sys ) in my pc. Then i scaned with F-secure online scanner. It says my pc is free of viruses too. I guess it is a false alarm.
I use Avira on access, Spyware Terminator and Comodo PF. I don’t suppose that i have infected pc . I wanted to ask you to be sure before ignore this alarm . What action should i do ?? ???
avast can’t run with Antivir, even with one of them disabled.
Disabling is not enough. You will have conflicts of virus signatures loaded into memory (or swapped to pagefile.sys).
Although it seems an avast false positive, you may use just one antivirus at once.
Thanks for reply ,
I have two windows operating systems in my pc and i use Avast! on access in one, Antivir in the other. So there is no conflicts or errors in my pc.
Ok , i will ignore the alert then
I see.
Isn’t there an entry for ?:\Pagefile.sys into avast exceptions? It shouldn’t be being detected…
I dont think that there is an entry for Pagefile.sys because i didnt changed any default settings.
Check both the Standard Shield, Customize, Advanced, Add and Program Settings, Exclusions exclusions lists and see if you can find it.
It is more likely to be C:\pagefile.sys in the list/s using the ? wildcard instead of the C will cater for if you have a pagefile in more than one drive (I do, a small one in C and a larger one in my second HDD, F:).
