Bless your heart, Para-Noid. Thank you.
I am indeed using v2014.9.0.2011. Just completed another full scan, plugged in my external hard drive this time and added it to read it in the settings in case the default didn’t. Lo and behold it found a Win32 Downloader-TBH [adw] infection in a file I had stored in my external that I haven’t had a chance to play with yet. Obviously, I will forego playing with it now. :wink:
Two other instances also in the Virus Chest say Win32: Malware-gen. Both files, I am fairly certain, are only suspicious because of what they are. In any case none of them are important to me. I’ll delete them shortly.
May I ask what are the differences between ‘fix’ and ‘repair’? Would it be the levels of how the program approaches the problem?
Also it’s occurred to me that adding a ‘snip’ to your quote earlier about getting MBAM Pro was rude. I apologize. I’m more interested in saving up for the Avast Premier for the moment. I do thank you for the heads up, though. You all are terrific. I feel more in control and at peace now with what I need to do to be safe.
It’s a pleasure to read through all the available posts. There’s so much in them to learn from. So I thank everyone who has had troubles and questions and those who’ve had answers…they are not wasted.
