Windows Desktop Search on XP is nothing like the built in Windows 7 search.

Hi guys, today when I was downloading Adobe Reader 9.2 avast received notification about traces of Win32: Rootkit-gen [Rtk]. The link of the download is http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.2/esp/AdbeRdr920_es_ES.exe

Is it a false positive or a real infection  Huh

Sorry for my bad English

The other day I noticed that my friend's computer (Windows XP) was running very slow, so I downloaded Avast! for him and ran a pre-boot scan.  I found several trojans and ordered them all to be moved to chest; though none of the files that I moved to the chest were infected system files.

After I finished the scan, the pc started to boot up but instead stopped at a black screen.  I restarted the machine several times after this but only ever got the same black screen.  I am able to get to the bios but am unsure of what to do at this point.. once I back out of the bios I just get the black screen again.

help!

Windows explorer crashes persist. That's pretty much it.

Windows problems and solution center (if that what its called) says to use windows update.

I'd leave Norton360 active, while downloading the files you need/want. (These should include the Norton Removal Tool, the full Avast setup file - ~37Mb- and perhaps PCDeprapifier.)
Once you've got the tools, you can change AV's offline. Always a good idea. Check Windows firewall is turned on and Avast active before going online again.
What fun, setting up a new computer. Clean slate.

Done that, saved .exe files for avast!, norton removal tool, pctools firewall plus, threatfire, mbam free, SAS free.

Also this Windows mess drives me crazy I might just dual boot with Ubuntu!
And one more thing.

Thanks to factory restore, im vista sp1, and sp2 hasn't come up in windows update, I used it many times and got 400mb in updates but no sp2. Vista home premium 64-bit. Were can i get it? I don't know wich one to download at www.microsoft.com

A virus scan showed a file was infected and I moved it to the chest. The file name is A0014650.EXE and the virus description is Win32:Malware-gen. The folder it was in is "C:\System Volume Information\_restore" with a lot of numbers after that. When I tried to start a game already loaded on the computer, Avast pop up said there was a virus in it. I uninstalled the game and during installation the popup again said there was a virus (I don't see how since I was installing direct from the CD). So I thought the original Win32:Malware virus I moved to the chest was maybe a false positive and causing the problem and tried to restore it, but even though it says the restore was "completed successfully" it isn't; it stays in the chest. I tried restoring it both from the chest files window and the 'infected files' window but makes no difference. Why can't I restore it?? Same with the 2 infected game files, I couldn't restore them after I sent them to the chest, so deleted them and then had to uninstall the game again since it wouldn't load. Other than the game, I don't see any problems with the original WIN32 file being quarantined, but now I can't install the game and still can't restore the WIN32 file, if it needs to be. Thanks

Thanks David, but still the same error message.  I am thinking about getting a refund. Who should I talk to or email?
