Is Avast locking down the file during the defrag?
- Also are you also making a virus scan at the same time?

Hi annette,

have you completely removed the virus from this post:
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=4;action=display;threadid=5166 ?

please reboot in SafeMode, empty all your TEMP-folders & IE-Cache= Temp.Internet-files, then
- do a diskcleanup & defrag (still in SafeMode)
- do a complete scan with avast

1) how do you get into safe mode

2) ...do I just Delete it ????

@1) restart PC, and press F8 repeatedly while it's booting, until you see a menue; choose "SafeMode" there..

open WindowsExplorer, rightclick your C: drive -> properties, then choose
a) diskcleanup
b) Extras -> defrag

@2) yes..
 ;)
