Hi, This is my first time on this site, and before you say this subject has only recently been discussed, please read on.
I have been reading with interest recent discussions regarding this virus and SAS, and the fact that it has been treated as a false positive.
However, I have this virus in the following file:
C\WINDOWS\temp-avast4-\unp107496586.tmp
It is not detected during realtime/boot scan, but was first detected yesterday, 26th. while doing a shutdown scan, firstly with SAS and then with Avast 4.8-1201 vps 080526-0.
On both scans the advise was to ‘move to chest’, this action failed with the warning " the chest server is not running. RPC communication failed, cannot process file.
Checked ‘chest’ which indicated “errors occured during removal”
Ran Avast cleaning tool which claimed to have deleted virus.
Today on startup Avast data base updated to 080527-0, realtime scan OK, but when Avast run again showed virus present.
Removed SAS from system, rebooted and tried again with same result.
‘chest’ shows the following;
Resume-action was completed with errors.
Errors report-program cannot use chest client(null)
description virus chest server is not running, RPC communication
failed.
Detailed information- program will try to load all chest files from the following
server(null)
action was completed with errors.
Some guidence would be appreciated.
Will Avast have to be removed and new version reinstalled
thanks in advance.
