A avast warning keeps popping up every few minutes that I have a Trojan horse. File name: C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\tgcw.tmp\svchost.exe Malware name: Win32:FakeAlert-FC [Trj].
Even if I move the virus to chest and scan my computer this warning keeps popping up.
I have the same issue, it is strange that the popup is active when connected to the internet, without connection no issue at all, it started with upgrading IE to version 8, please advice how to remove the allerts.
I actually have the same pb. How do we get rid of this one?
Welcome to the forum, to all three of you.
Have any of you tried doing boot-time scans?
To schedule boot scan using Avast, follow the steps below:-Right click on the Avast system tray icon
Click on “Start Avast Anti Virus”
Avast anti virus window will pop up and run a memory scan
Once memory scan finish, you can right click on the Avast anti virus window and select “Schedule Boot Time Scan”
“Schedule Boot Time Scan” window will popup, select “Scan all local disk” and check on “Advanced Options”
For normal infected file select “Move infected files to Chest” and select “No action” for system files and Press “Schedule” button.
Avast will prompt you for restart to perform the Boot time scan and click “Yes” to reboot and start the scan.
Done you have just scheduled a boot time scan from Avast anti virus
Or have you tried scanning with malwarebytes? http://www.malwarebytes.org
Scan with SuperAntiSpyware; Malwarebytes; Spybot Search and Destroy and Ad-Aware.
Spybot S&D Should remove the fakealert. Each of these programs is worth having on your computer, so scan with each of them in Normal Boot and Safe Boot.
Same probleme than you. It’s very boring !
Is someone could sand me an answer in French because i read and write english like a spanish cow (sorry) ?
