Avast Found 2 Infected Files

[brinojos]

I just did a boot-time scan and found 2 corrupted zip archives:
- File C:\users\Sabrina\AppData\LocalLow\Google\GoogleEarth\webdata\f_000056|>ru.kml  Error 42125 {zip archive is corrupted}
- FileC:\users\Sabrina\AppData\LocalLow\Google\GoogleEarth\webdata\f_00009c}>sk.kml  Error 42125 {zip archive is corrupted}

After moving the first file to the chest and deleting the second one, this is what I got:
- FilieC:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\5M3UOJKE\banner[1].htm is infected by HTML: Iframe-inf
-FilieC:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\OFZBVTV2|93a872037e7e78b8f3f3f1180f7ed52c[1].htm is infected by HTML: Applet-inf [Trj]

What am I supposed to do now to remove these viruses from my computer completely. In all honesty, I have read other threads and I'm not great on grasping concepts about how to remove viruses. I have read many posts and all the information is completely overwhelming. Any help would be apprecited.

Hi brinojos,

Why run a boot scan?  Did Avast! alert and say a boot scan was needed to be run?

As for the corrupted zip archives, these will not be seen unless a boot scan is called for and run.  Normal scans will not report these files as they do not look for them.  A boot scan will go much deeper into your system than a normal or quick scan will.

A corrupt zip archive is just that. It means Avast! cannot open the file to look inside.  Archive files are just that, inert and inactive until you open them.  As such, they cannot harm your system as long as you leave them alone.

The other files detected are in your Internet Explorer temporary folder, and can be deleted safely using a program such as CCleaner.  Word of caution with CCleaner.  Use only the default settings, do not try to get fancy with it, else you could have more problems in the future.

Quarantine or delete?  Deleting leaves you no options.  Quarantine will, at the very least, allow you to recover that file in the chest should you find you need it later, and it is proved to be a false positive.  Always quarantine, then you will be keeping your options open.  Delete removes that file permanently, thus no option remains.

They are just temp files that avast detected...

Clearing Temp Files.

Download CCleaner from here: http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/standard

Install it on you PC...go to the options tab..click on the advanced..uncheck only delete temp file less than 24 hours [see screenshot]..Back to the cleaner tab...click run cleaner and allow it to complete then close the program..run this program once a week rugularly

Thank you for the help. I ran a boot-time scan because Avast asked me to. Now, are these viruses causing my computer to constantly freeze, which I have to shut down by pressing down on the power button? Also, how do I keep Avast from showing pop-ups about every few seconds?

[mchain]

Sorry, that was not clear. 

You did right to run a boot scan on request.

Please read this and follow instructions here:  http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0

Run the first three programs listed, and attach the logs in your next reply.

Click "Attachments and other options" and attach the four logs in your next reply.

Whatdo you mean by making sure it's saved on my Desktop? When I dowload anything, it's automatically placed in my Download folder. Can I just move it to the Desktop folder?

Ok, so far I have done as you asked. When running ComboFix I got the following warnings, what do I do?

Yes, of course

Ok, so far I have done as you asked. When running ComboFix I got the following warnings, what do I do?

To read the instructions that I have linked where is explained how to use Combofix.
To follow my instructions and turn off antivirus, and run Combofix.
note: If you turn off antivirus as described and Combofix still reports active antivirus, click on Yes, ignore warnings and allow Combofix to finish in the scan. 

[brinojos]

For Step 3, is that for any and all flash drives I own?
