It is indeed easy to make a mistake and press “the wrong button” when alerted for a possibel virus. Everybody gets scared from a mesage like that.

It’s also possibel that AVAST did detected it, but ley it run anyway…also, i doubt that. This must be ivestigated by the vendors of Avast.

These 2 reasons for the possibel worm infection Lars-erik got ,gives more strenght again to the thingy i always say : layered defence !

It’s correct that Avast shoudn’t let virusses & worms run (especially well known worms) but i don’t believe this ever happended in the past.

If you had had the freeware Abtrusion protector nothing would have happendend (if you by mistake pressed the wrong button):
