Hi
I have an Intel home PC and I use an Opera browser. The security I use is Avast and Spybot and Defender. I like to
use the browser for researching (recipes for one) and You Tube music downloads. we have Steam installed and receive regular Steam updates. We don’t play Steam games right now though. And we have Broadband2Go Internet
service.
Avast has found trojans several times during a scan and once during its screen saver scan recently. I seem to be getting them from visiting websites embedded in pictures and possibly from the you tube music downloading but am not sure about that.
I am not sure what more to do to keep trojans out.
I had a trojan Win32:Game-thief-L detected and had quarantined in Avast.
Previous to this I had an Html:HideMe-F trojan (which came from ecurry.com pictures) found and deleted in Avast.
And the Avast Screen Saver Scanner picked up a JS Die trojan … and blocked it with two others.
Any help keeping these things out would be greatly appreciated. I use Avast Free edition at this time as I have zero
income but I hope to be able to purchase an edition in the future.
Doesn’t look to bas, it seems as though Avast blocked them

I wanted to thank you very much for assisting me today I enjoyed the process
After days and days of shoveling snow which I also like to do, sitting down at the computer for awhile was good
Although I don’t like having to shovel thru the files to find things that don’t belong there
These programs help with that kind of shoveling …
Hi
The computer is great and Avast is great! And the help here was monumental.
Whilst I was downloading and scanning and submitting logs Microsoft decided to alert me that
of all things that my Firewall wasn’t on. So that is turned back on.
We have more snow on the way … shoveling, its a great way to get some exercise.
I was reading recently about computer baddies being able to shrink to being invisible in a log.
That can’t be good.
