Do what ^ said.
I was wondering about this; when you did the system restore were you still connected to the internet and do you have automatic updates on?
Since I’ve just swapped over to broadband last week it’s something I’ve been concerned about because these and other program’s automatic updates can be sent to you computer at any time and whatever you’re doing. I’m thinking about things like defragging (full defrags not background defragging) and system restoring in particular because on dial-up it has always been my practice to disconnect before doing anything like that.
In fact apart from Avast I’ve deliberately turned off all other automatic updates as I’ve been certain they have been at least part of the cause of at least two serious problems I’ve had. I manually update everything else now either after a prompt or on a weekly/monthly basis.
