Hi All …
I’m New to all of this …so Appologies if i dont get it Right …
I’m Using AutoCAD2007 …
In the Last Week … Avast. Keep Telling me “threat has been Detected”
and
avast! saved your computer from crashing
You just dodged a bullet…
Earlier this week I received the same notification as the OP and I was skeptical about its origin. Had a blue screen shut down this morning. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. I’m a paying avast! customer, if that matters.
Thanks for the warm welcome, Asyn. I thought, apparently mistakenly, given that my issue was related to the OP’s topic that my previous post was in accordance with the board’s rules. Back to the drawing board, I go.
helping multipl users in same topic will be chaotic
also your computers are not the same on the inside so any fix presented is uniqe for the machine it was made fore
thats why there is a warning on top of every OTL fix
Thank you for the explanation, Pondus. I didn’t realize that this forum was operated in such an individualized manner, (which is wonderful, btw), and I now fully understand my faux pas.
[*]Then click the Run Fix button at the top
[*]Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
[*]Open OTL again and click the Quick Scan button. Post the log it produces in your next reply.

Hi EssexBoy…
Thanks or you continous Support !!!
I downloaded CombiFixfrom on of the Links You Sent Me …
Saved it to Desktop …
Clicked’d on it and it RAN … I think … I let it run for about 10 Mins … but it Seamed to Stall !!
I’m not Sure … it wasent doing Anything !!
Anyways , I had to Switch off and Re-Boot My Laptop !!
Now I had a Look … Via - Start / Search /All files and Folders … For "ComboFix.txt "
but Could not Find " include the C:\ComboFix.txt "
A Funny Thing is Happening with … Start / Search /All files and Folders … Its dosent seem to STOP … It Like its going around in a Constant Loop !!!
ANYWAYS…
ComboFix… Created a Folder called “Qoobox.”
I had a Look in that Folder ??
and there are 3 ( NEW) folders within Qoobox with todays DATE … LastRun … Test & TestC …
The Test & TestC folders are Empty …
The LastRun Folder has a File called Gateway …
The Only .txt File I cound find were 2 … Which i will attach … But i think they are OLD Files belong to ComboFIX …
Do you Think ComboFIX … Ran ??
BTY … I Opened AutoCAD … Opened a Few .DWG File 's … And … NO REPORTS from AVAST … !!
???.. So it Look Like Avast has Stoped Reporting !!. and YES … Befor you Ask … It is Running - I had it disabled when Running and Installing ComboFIX !!
Regards…
Peter
