Are you using Windows XP?
Can you schedule a boot-time scanning?
Start avast! > Right click the skin > Schedule a boot-time scanning.
Select for scanning archives.
Boot.

Or just run:
C:\Program Files\ALWIL Software\Avast4\sched.exe /A:*

:slight_smile: Hi Maivina :

 "System32/hp100.tmp" is an indication you have a
  SmitRem "infection", where Experts on an antiSPYWARE
  forum can guide you through its removal . You should
  ask for help on the forum(s) of your antiSPYWARE
  provider; if you know of none, I recommend :
  www.landzdown.com .

Smitfrad actually :stuck_out_tongue: SmitRem is a removal tool for it :wink:
