My problem is the following:
several weeks ago Avast detected the following:
Sign of "MS04-028 JPEG [Expl]" has been found in "C:\Users\user\Pictures\~lack02.tmp" file.
It was the first time I had to deal with a virus, plus, I haven't read anything from this forum, so I moved the file(a picture I had taken from a fansite), into the Chest and then deleted it.
10 days ago, another threat:
Sign of "JS:Feebs family" has been found in "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Low\Content.IE5\HWD1K1D9\index_xxl[1].htm" file. (it said it was virus/worm)
And one more at the same time:
Sign of "CVE-2007-0038" has been found in "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Low\Content.IE5\HWS9ZU8Q\188[1].ani" file.
I think I made a mistake because when the alert screen showed, I didn't do anything, so NOW I REALLY DO NOT KNOW whether the virus is still in my PC! I don't know what Avast does when I don't tell it to do anything, does it clean the infected files automatically? If not, I'm in trouble.
My computer's software is Vista Basic Home, I have a Firewall, Windows Defender that are working properly, I get updates from Avast every day.
After the incidents I scanned my PC with different AV tools, Avast scan also says that it's clean.
Yesterday however, there was something VERY STRANGE happening in my Windows Photo Gallery. When I opened it, there was one infected picture:
Sign of "MS04-028 JPEG [Expl]" has been found in "C:\Users\user\Pictures\~AAAAAAAAAAAAA.tmp file.
I quickly dealt with it BUT then I looked at my Tags and THERE WERE TAGS THAT I'D NEVER ADDED! Some examples: 'competition', 'racing', etc. There were at least 30 of them. That SHOULD MEAN THAT SOME MALWARE HAS ENTERED IN MY PC, right?
Again, scans show that it's clean but I know that viruses can hide so well...
I've been reading a lot about viruses and especially about those that I had, but now I'M CONFUSED AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
PLEASE, HELP!!!
