Hi Shibin,

As spi (Johnny) mentioned to me about your problem, is there any weird happened when you did boot time scanning with your windoes 7?
Like example you got notification that you need to delete infected file system which cause of malware?
If that is true, then i think you already delete your system which infected by malware. Because i ever got same problem with you, which is after i did the boot time scanning and got notification to delete the malware/virus then i coudn't login into my notebook anymore.

hi Yanto Chiang,



its not in that way.my system is free of malwares(as avast reports).when i run boottime scanning once in a month or such,avast reports there is no malware detected in my computer.but after finishing the scanning process the computer just go to hibernation and i had to restart it.
