Hi all, I have a question about a possible? virus 
that avast found on my computer last night. It was found in C:/Windows/system32/config/RegBack/SOFTWARE.OLD; and the resultā¦Infection Win 32:Adload.
Now today after downloading the newest definitions I scanned that particular file I quarantined in the virus chest and from what I can gather it says āNo Virusā which is in the column beside transfer time. So was this a false positive, did I scan the said āvirusā correctly? Can I now delete that particular fileā¦or should I restore it? My computer seems to be running OKā¦so I think that probably was a āfalse positiveāā¦at least I hope :-\ I should also mention I am running Vista Home Premium with SP1 installed.
Thanks

It seems to be a legitimate Vista file. With the .old extension, it wonāt be anything critical, but you should restore it just to be on the safe side.
Thank You for your responseā¦After reading your answer I went and scanned it again just to make sure and it still says āno virusā so I clicked ārestoreā I think it restored but shouldnāt it be removed from the chest if the action was completed correctly? as it still sits in the virus chest. ???
Thanks

There is a copy retained in the chest, just in case, when you confirm it is back in the original location and everything is working, etc. then you can delete it.
Once again thanks for your quick reply 
it is greatly appreciated
