Eddy,

Ok. All is well, I think. I found two other files that are infected. For some reason Avast did not give the first virus alert until after I had shut down and rebooted. And then only one file was cited. After I put the infected file in the Chest the HDD continued downloading and would not allow any keyboard input. I tried to Scan but the HDD activity kept interfereing, so I went to Safe Mode: it happened there too. Even a utility I have that initiates Scan Disk on a regular or a Safe Mode boot before any programs and loaded did not work. I re-read the data in your link went back to avast and scanned the whole system file, that’s when I found the other two files. Now only if the removed ‘system’ files regenerate, I’ll be okay. Here’s hopping.

Thanks,
