iv just installed and registered with Avast 4.8 but iv got a question
on a test computer i have downloaded a virus [odd thing to do i know but pls bear with me] , i run a scan on it and sure enough it comes up with virus detected, i click on ignore/continue or whatever the button is called , then i go to the file in windows and the odd thing is that i can still run it
no warning or anything, so i re-run the scan on this file and it said it was defiantly a virus but still i can run it from windows ?
i thought that the active part of the anti virus was supposed to stop a virus from being run at all. please point me in the right direction .
Thx Greg.
