I found out this morning that I sent emails out while I was asleep. I ran a boot scan with Avast found 3 viruses and I had them moved to the virus chest. They are
Win32:Malware-gen
NSIS:Adware-DR [Adw]
Win32InstallCore-CH [PUP]
Can you tell from the attached files if that removed the viruses? Thanks

Win32InstallCore-CH [PUP]
PUP = not virus but Possibe Unwanted Program....
PUP scan is default off in quick/full scan but on in Boot scan
avast is just telling you that you have a program that can be used for good or bad if abused
I can see no apparent malware are you experiencing any other problems ?
