Yesterday i visited a website, which i thought would be ok then an Avast pop-up message appeared saying that TrojanDownloader:Win32/Adload.DA Virus has been blocked so i closed the webpage.
Now, Windows Action Centre is telling me I need to remove the virus, but as far as I am aware Avast already blocked it so there is nothing to remove :s
I am doing a quick scan just to be sure, but am pretty sure nothing is going to come up!
Please see attached screenshot.
Is this just a Windows not realising that Avast has already blocked the threat?
Also, I understand that a Quick Scan should suffice. Is a Full System Scan ever really needed? Avast usually blocks viruses/malware before they have a chance to get on the system. In what circumstances would a full system scan be required?
the quick scan should cover all area where activly running malware like to reside…
the full may detect dormant installers, inside a zip file etc…
i only run full if quick detect anything
do you have more then one security program installed…like MIcrosoft security essentials ?
as this seems to be a microsoft signature name
I have Windows Defender disabled and I am pretty sure that when the red Avast pop up appeared it said the exact same thing i.e. TrojanDownloader:Win32/Adload.DA Virus
I could be wrong as I didn’t really study it that much i just closed the website that Avast warned me against.
Is there a way I can check the last threat blocked via Avast?
**Update: Ok, just check via Avast account and it gave this as last infected file HTML:RedirDL-inf [Trj]
