Sorry for the double post.
Avast said I had a virusAfter I clicked to "ignore" the file, Avast came up and said that I had a virus and asked me to do a boot scan before the virus could take effect. So I clicked "Ok". It's doing the boot scan on my computer right now (I'm on another one). How could I have got a virus if I've only went on the internet to update MBAM... Of course I did go on the internet to play a MMORPG with a friend.
Would disconnecting completely from my network prevent me from getting malware? Because I've did that and it looks like I'm still getting viruses.
After Avast does it's boot scan, what should I do? If I get rid of the virus, how can I be sure it won't come back or I won't get another one? I thought disconnecting from my network/internet would keep my computer safe... Why would this happen? I haven't had one virus ever before, but now just recently in the past 2 months I've had a lot of viruses. I haven't did anything different... WHY am I getting viruses now? My friend says it's unnatural to get so many viruses "when I'm so safe on my computer" and that she thinks Avast is just detecting MBAM's file. Though she doesn't believe that I ever really got a virus/malware... Ever... But Avast did say I had a virus...
EDIT: I added the supposed "Suspicious file" to Avast's exclusions. So will Avast's boot scan not detect the file? Because Avast did say I had a virus after I chose to ignore MBAM's file. Could the the "Suspicious File" be actually a virus? If I don't include it in Avast's scans.. Then it could activate later on? Should I take it out of Avast's exclusions then scan again?
Please help! I am very confused. Could a hacker possibily (Sorry if I spelled this wrong, I'm tired) be hacking my computer? I did have a Backdoor and Alureon (Sp?) malware before, but I supposedly got rid of it.
Alright, I'm just going to stop worrying. Or I'm going to try to. :/
