Title: What to do with a virus?
Post by: waytallwhitey on October 16, 2013, 07:28:53 PM

Avast has detected 1 virus and 101 warnings; however I am unable to do anything with the virus.  What am I doing wrong here?

Can you post a screenshot please?

Also the warning if there is one?

What is the virus detection, file name, location and malware name ?
Why won't it let you do anything, e.g. what errors are you getting ?

Essentially there is nothing to do with warnings as they aren't indicative of a virus infection.
Give a few common examples of these errors, file name location and warning ?

I think you should better ask in the Mac section of the forum:

Cause we know nothing about Macs.
