« on: September 24, 2011, 06:35:13 PM »
Hello,  my daily scan found 5 process memory block infected with win32: cycbot KI .  The severity is high an d i was unable to apply any action to them.  Can you please help ?  I also have mbam on my computer, but run it once a week or so.  the mbam scan i ran today showed no infected files.
Am not sure if this is a false positive but it looked serious. please help !

Process 1556 [nvvscv.exe], memory block 

Attached is a screen shot o f the scan result. 

Thank you,
 PK

bc this is not a file...but a process


DO NOT use the "scan memory" setting as this will give some strange scan results

i recomend using the default quick/full scan with default settings

Hello,  my daily scan
why.....there is a file shield running in the background at all time...so why scan every day

if it was necesarry to scan everything avast would have made it with one scan as default where everything was scanned, and it would be slow as molasses and take a week to finish
