ok to any of the mods or someone who can help me plz… i’ve been playing my CHAMPIONSHIP MANAGER game all day! and everything is great… then i go on internet to check some WRESTLING News… and all of a sudden RESIDENT PROTECTION says it found a virus named:
VBS Malware [script] in my TEMPORARY INTERNET FILEs folder?? now what should i do? i looked at it in the Virus definitions in TREND MICRO and it said it was very dangerous… but when i checked system with HOUSECALL (Their free online scan) nothing was found!!
Is this another false alarm by Avast… and i shouldnt worryy bout it or no?? because about 2 weeks ago i had the same problem with 2 other viruses and got into lots of trouble for DOING something… and NOT JUST IGNORING IT??
You can set avast! to exclude that file(s) from scanning (MENU → SETTINGS → EXCLUSION)
Send that files to Mr. Divis (divis@asw.cz. He´s our “viral guru” :D, he will analyse that files. Maybe it really is false positive - he´s the one who can say YES or NO.
(Malware) files in T.I.F. = IE-Browser-Cache can mostly be deleted safely, except if you want to send them in for analzing to avast.
when i checked system with HOUSECALL (Their free online scan) nothing was found!!
did you maybe tell avast resident shield to delete/move/quarantine the file?
Then of course TrendScan can’t find anything afterwards
because about 2 weeks ago i had the same problem with 2 other viruses and got into lots of trouble for DOING something.. and NOT JUST IGNORING IT??
It’s generally advisable to first get information about a virus on the system before deleting/moving it.
'Cause indeed sometimes there have to be made some system modifications/repairs
(manually or with special AV-Tools; see e.g. Avast-Cleaner: http://www.avast.com/i_idt_171.html)
before repairing/deleting malware files; especially if the virus is already active and not just slumbering on the system, like in T.I.F./Temp/Download-folders
