you placed these in the Chest- right??
if not update avast and schedule a boot time scan- move hits to chest and post the boot time log here
In either case
create a file C:\suspicious
copy these three there
go on line to “virus total”
use the “search” to navigate to your new folder and upload the three files one at a time
report back
Are you using Windows XP/Vista?
Scheduling the Boot Time Scan
Click on the Menu button.
Choose Schedule Boot Time Scan.
Doing so displays a dialog allowing you to schedule virus scanning.
Check Archives, if you want scan all the archives.
Specify whether all the disks or just a specific folder should be scanned.
Select Advanced options for scheduling details.
Select how to automatically process infected files (suggestion: send to Chest)
Choose how to automatically process infected system files (suggestion: ignore/do nothing)
Click the Schedule button to confirm the settings.
xp hey tech i did every thing u said scaned all local disks it said no infect found so when scanwas done i tried single file scan i put word for word except SIGN OF win32:trojan-gen found i put c:windows then .file whatever the whole thing said but when i entered it it said error find the correct pathso i couldnt do single scan thanks for the help though
It’s a strange file, does not seem to be a false positive…
I suggest:
Disable System Restore and then reenable it again.
Clean your temporary files.
Schedule a boot time scanning with avast with archive scanning turned on. If avast does not detect it, you can try DrWeb CureIT! instead.
Use SUPERantispyware, MBAM or Spyware Terminator to scan for spywares and trojans. If any infection is detected, better and safer is send the file to Quarantine than to simple delete than.
i tryed dr cureit malwarebytes online rogue remover n anti-malbytes stil nothing but said everything was fine i deleted all temp files cookies schuled scan rebooted the only thing is there are files in my virus chest its just that they dont match up with the names or dates of any of the files in my loger n the ones in my VIRUS CHEST say they have no virus n computer still working lso everytime i run any malwarebytes or drcureit i turn off my avast im i suppose to turn avast off
Some people say yes, you will avoid two antivirus at the same time fighting for detection.
Other ones will say you should never turn off the resident protection.
I’m among the first ;D
You can still have the web shield enabled, whilst pausing the standard shield and you should also have your firewall keeping your connection stealthed.
It isn’t only just about clashed but duplicate scanning which will slow the overall scan duration.
the latest on my find after tryin kapersky, eset nod32, computer ok scan said then trendmirco housecall that one wanted me to take out avast so i stoped finally f- secure came up with results 1 malware found said it was a tracking cookie n in the process of scan of steps cleaning system was the finsh button it said system was cleared but when i went to my avst logger the entries were still there so i think the quest continues
jtaylor 83 i need to download the program to a disk first cause icant acess the internet from safe mode i tried but i havent had any problems wit the computerlike nosie n stuff just doing this is so time consuming man i fell asleep during a scan woke up to it being done
I think we meant for you to complete ONE of the AV scans
and all we found was a tracking cookie
good job
get some sleep
on Tech’s list
either Super Antispyware or #5 check for rootkits
ON the avast off question I’m with DavidR
I did not know that TrendMicro wanted Avast Removed- thanks

Tracking cookies aren’t a security issue but a minor privacy one, periodically clean out your cookies is more than enough.
What entries are you talking about ?
The avast logger (if you mean the avast log viewer) is a list of historical data of the activity, scans, detections, etc. than have been made and any data in there is just that, text data it isn’t the file or a new detection.
If they are reporting your system is clean and an avast scan doesn’t detect anything then your system is clean.
Or are you saying avast is still detecting something ?
If so what is the file name, location and malware name of the detection (e.g. the same as the original post, etc.) ?

these entries are in my avast log viewer in the warning section when i was on the web avast pop up said malware found n this is where avast stuck them i just figured since it said sign of trojan-gen i might of had a virus so i beem doing all this scanning but every time it says the computer is fine except one time it said it found malware or cookie found n i installed that spyware program n it just said treats were cookies quarantine them so i did computer has been working fine n no problems that day on the web with that trojan-gen thing so i guess ive been sweating over nothing thats everything
