:-[ ??? :-\

… Ok, so ever since I got Avast I’ve gotten like 4 viruses… 2 were taken care of, 1 disappeared and now a new one! I tried to moved it to the box or delete it but every single time I try to move it or get rid of it, I get a msg saying “avast!: The system cannot find the file specified” … the only thing I can do is click “ok” which I do but a few seconds later, the box returns saying it’s found a virus?? Ugh… What the heck do I do? This is so frustrating… I’ve downloaded the virus cleaner and it doesn’t find anything and it did the same thing with the last virus, but I’m so tired to getting them. I never had any before and I don’t know what to do… :-\ Help help please!

The virus cleaner only works for specific viruses.

What was the name and path of the infected file? You can find it in the avast logs under warning… You will have to expand the columns by sliding them sideways at the top. With this info we may have a clue as to what is going on.
