Hi all,
I am a new user of Avast, so I hope you will have some patience with me
After an infection with a backdoor Win32 Trojan Horse, from which I was not protected by F-secure (the anti-virus provided by my Internet provider), I installed Avast... and Avast found quite some rubbish on my PC!
I decided to do a full system recovery, then I ran Avast, also over my external Hard Drive and as a result some files were put into the Chest.
But it wasn't until now that I discovered I could no longer reach the external HD. Even Avast no longer finds it!
The external HD is partitioned in F: G: H: I:
Now when I check "My Computer" only F: is visible. But F: "is not formatted, do you want to format now?" NO!!! This HD contains all my scanned slides, thousands of them!!! And all my backups!
This is the full content of the Chest:
A0000218.Inf in F:\System Volume Information\_restore{9B2640BF-AB83-4FD2-8EDA-B0FCC526FCC8}\RP5 containing VBS:Malware-gen
A0000476.Inf in G:\System Volume Information\_restore{9B2640BF-AB83-4FD2-8EDA-B0FCC526FCC8}\RP9 containing VBS:Malware-gen

Uninstall.bin in C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution containing Win32:agent-ACRH[trj]
WinXP.bmp in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 containing Win32:agent-ACRH[trj]
I tried restoring the Chest files of F: G: H: and I: (not the C: ones), but they cannot be properly restored: they were restored with faults, as Avast reported. And still no access to the external HD.
Now what can I do?
Please, please, can someone help me? I feel quite desperate!
