Title: Re: I no longer feel like/Ignore/Done With This!
Post by: midnight on November 28, 2013, 12:21:18 AM: Avast is protecting me. I ran a quick scan and it showed I had 2 infections. Ran a boot time scan and no threats detected. Then ran another quick scan, also no threats detected.

I did not get the red popup that says threat detected.

You won't get a red popup as that is only for the on-access scanners, so unless that files was running it wouldn't be being scanned.

Post by: Secondmineboy on November 28, 2013, 12:56:38 AM: The real-time scanners, file system shield, web shield and mail shield.

They are scanning every accessed file on the computer.

Xfinity and Comcast are the same ISP.

I don't know how to upload the file to virustotal.

So why should anyone else do the searching for you, if you refuse to do it ???

Post by: midnight on November 28, 2013, 02:48:06 PM: I didn't ask anyone else to do the searching for me.

I don't care what that comment suggests. You can't read my mind!
