Hello,
I am Avast Free antivirus 8 user.
From last some days my PC is infected by a Virus I have attached Print screen please see path in print screen.
I have also attached log files which may help you understand my problem.
Please Help,
Best Regards,
Divyesh Bardoliwala.
could you post a screenshot of the avast detection…
Avast is not detecting it as a virus even it is up to date check attached image.
And if insert any pen drive virus move all files and folders to unnamed folder and root folder have only a shortcut named pen drive.
Are the USB’s infected ?

Thank You.

My Friend,
It seems solved !!! ![]()
Thank You!!!
special pen drive protector. http://mcshield.net/
hmmm MCSShield also seems a very good tool.
Let me know tomorrow if all is OK and I will tidy up
Everything is running good now.
If I insert any infected pendrive will my pc infected again or it will be cured?
Subject to no further problems ![]()
I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems
Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean ![]()
A good workman always cleans up after himself so…The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:
Run OTL and hit the cleanup button. It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself.
Clear Restore Points
Go Start > All Programmes > Accessories > System tools
Right click Disc Cleanup and select run as administrator
When it pops up at the first prompt select OK after it has done some calculations the tabs will appear
Select More Options tab
Press Sytem Restore and Shadow Copies Cleanup button

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:

Malwarebytes.
Update and run weekly to keep your system clean
Download and install FileHippo update checker and run it monthly it will show you which programmes on your system need updating and give a download link
If you use on-line banking then as an added layer of protection install Trusteer Rapport
It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated. To keep your operating system up to date visit
[*]Microsoft Windows Update
To learn more about how to protect yourself while on the internet read our little guide How did I get infected in the first place ?Keep safe ![]()
I already using MalwareBytesAntiMalware software.
Everyday in morning I check update online on www.filehippo.com.
Both Antivirus and Windows are automatic update mode.
As per your Instruction I cleaned up restore points and temp files.
Avast should scan any USB drive at the time of insertion and should be able to stop all known malware
Yes it should be!!!
But I shocked when I see that my computer is infected even Avast is updated and running well.
That is where malware writers have the edge, until the AV knows what the malware is or does some will get through, but the addition of heuristics and evo-gen go some way to alleviating that problem
hmmmmmmmmmmm but finally i get rid of it…
Thank You…
