Do I have malware?
« on: February 28, 2013, 08:02:35 AM »
I've saved the newest version of Avast that I found at filehippo.com to my laptop 32 bit.  I then tried to download it on the computer, but I just get a message saying that it's not compatible with Win32.  Am I missing something, or is this malware that is blocking help?

I've got Essentials, but wasn't finding whatever was bothering my system, so I thought I'd download Avast.  It claims to help with the spyware I think may have my system infected.  I didn't remove Essentials prior to saving Avast.  I was expecting an objection by the software as a reaffirmation that I SHOULD remove it first.  Perhaps that is why the notice, but it seems a strange notice to send as an objection for duplicating AV's.  I also didn't want to remove Essentials prior to knowing that I wouldn't be making matters worse.

seems you are clean...try uninstall MSE and install avast again

if that does not work, see in the same guide i gave you...scroll down to OTL and attach (not copy and paste) the diagnostic log
then one of the experts here will have a look and see if he can spot a problem

they usually arrive here after work hours european time    ;)

for most users windows firewall is enough, and there are usually no complicated pop ups

Specifically it states that ....(AVAST)....."is not a valid Win32 application".
