Hello
My avast anti virus detected this “Win32:Adware-gen [Adw]” treat and repeated to notify me every 5 - 10 mins or so before i found help on this forum. It has stopped now after doing the scans recommended but as we know that doesn’t mean that it has gone. Scan logs are attached, any help is very much appreciated thanks in advance.
Let me know if this stops it
