Avast 4.8 vs. Avast 5.0
« on: July 11, 2010, 09:50:04 AM »
Hello!

I have (had?) a Win32:Tiny-AFE infection since May (please refer to my previous post http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=59280.0) which I couldn't get rid of, and which obliged me to perform a complete scan with Avast 4.8 everyday before using my laptop.

Yesterday I updated to Avast 5.0, and now when I carry out a complete scan it doesn't detect Win32:Tiny-AFE anymore...

I am insecure as to wheter Avast 5.0 has eliminated this trojan or whether it simply doesn't find it though it is still here...

Any info/help/suggestions are very appreciated!

Thanks and regards,

Graci

Hi Pondus,

Thanks for the replies.

Malwarebytes and Superantispyware found nothing.

Attached are the logs from MBAM and OTL (OTL.txt and Extras.txt, which I really don't understand...)
Thanks again for your help!

Nothing evident on those logs - looks quite clean to me.  As you experiencing anything out of the ordinary ?

Not really.
I just had all these alerts from Avast 4.8 for a Win32:Tiny-AFE everyday for over two months and now after I updated to Avast 5.0 nothing is shown...

What is the infected file name, where was it found e.g. (C:\windows\system32\infected-file-name.xxx) ?

Was it always the same file name and found in the same location ?
Windows 10 Home 64bit/ Acer Aspire F15/ Intel Core i5 7200U 2.5GHz, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD/ avast! free 24.2.6105 (build 24.2.8918.824) UI 1.0.799/ Firefox, uBlock Origin, uMatrix/ MailWasher Pro/ Avast! Mobile Security

Really? Didn't you take any action against the infection?  :o
