HP\BIN\EndProcess.exe

^ Follow-up to attach the specific "boot scan" results:


I selected the "boot scan" on the Scan Log (see on prior page) and attached the "view scan" for the "boot scan log" which I presume is showing all that was found on the "boot scan".  Just the top item listed (EndProcess.exe) was put in the Virus Chest.  The other three items listed I would presume have been "deleted" I guess.  I'm not sure why all are listed as "deleted" since the "EndProcess.exe" was in the Virus Chest however.  It's all confusing to me, it seems to me I had a lot more messages displayed than just this number of problems.

This is the first time I've ever done a "boot scan" and I think it is probably the first time I've done ANY scan on this one year old computer actually.

I have to assume that these 3 items other than "EndProcess.exe" (which should be left alone) are some form of "maleware" of some kind and thus SHOULD BE DELETED?  I have to trust that Avast will get things right at least the vast majority of times and won't be taking out stuff that I need.  I'm also assuming that the "arg178012.exe" found on the "regular scan" (see previous page) was something that should be removed as well.

Thanks for the help.

So then you are saying that on "boot scans" the PUP setting is ignored even if unchecked and PUPs are always scanned for?
<snip>

The boot-time scan has its own settings (PUPs and Archive files are scanned by default) when you schedule it you can change the settings.

So if you were doing a boot-time scan, the confusion arises on your calling it a Full scan, when there is a Full System Scan as a pre-defined scan for normal windows mode and as you have seen that has PUPs disabled by default. This setting doesn't apply to boot-time scans.
