I have been reading the posts and just new to avast i ran into this problem i ran a boot scan and it came up with that i was infected , although this was a fresh install of windows with only my drivers and av having been installed, the reason for the install was that the comp had been acting strange for weeks with a re-format having been done every 3 days, no antivirus prog has found anything (tried them all) i actually found this by accident , when i ran the avast boot scan, it seems this was sitting in my boot sector for ages , i deleted the file and so far so good, this last re-insrall has been good , my question is , is thgis really a bug or is it a hoax ? no av site has any info on it , and i found something on the net that said something aboput avast being false pos ridden ? so far i like this prog and avast was the only prog to find this prob and i haven't had much of a prob since although i am getting auto shutdowns now suddenly soon as i run a scan . please help
