Cripe...Windows required a restart for updates. SafeSurf came 15min to late
By the time I finished my post, you had signed off...sorry, but it happens a lot around here. You're probably OK, but let's check more to play it safe.
Here's what I suggest:
1. Make sure your settings for Avast Real-Time Shield actions are set to default so that anything that comes up goes to the Virus Chest (do NOT delete them...leave things there).
2. Make sure your Avast definitions are up to date (UTD) and run a
FULL scan.
3. Since you have a 64-bit machine, you can't run a boot-scan (you will with v.5.1), so I'm going to have you run an
MBAM (Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware) scan instead:
· Download
free http://www.malwarebytes.org/ for an on-demand scanner.
· Double Click mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
· After install, click
update so you have latest database before scanning.
· Under Settings:
o
General: Automatically Save File After Scan Completes is checked off
o
Scanner Settings:
Check all boxeso
Updater: Download and install update if available is checked off
· Once the program has loaded, select "Perform
FULL Scan", then click Scan.
· The scan may take some time to finish, so please be patient.
· When the disinfection scan is complete, a log will appear in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart. (See Extra Note).
· Click the “
remove selected” button to quarantine anything found. You will find the infection details under the Quarantine tab.
· The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
·
Copy & Paste the entire report in your next reply.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.
