You just run the scan and attach the log produced for the experts to examine.

This is offtopic, but your signature says...

Windows Vista Home Basic
Ram: 138 GB

Are you sure that you have 138 GB of RAM with Windows Vista Home Basic? Even x64 version of Windows Vista Home Basic can only handle up to 8 GB of RAM.

64-bit Vista Business, Enterprise and Ultimate can handle up to 128 GB of RAM.

HI I was wondering can some one explain to me please how many logs are their with olt to put in my reply and can someone also explain to me please what do I do when I open olt do I just push the run scan button or the quick scan button and do I do anything else.  I should remind you that have the logs for Windows Vista not windows 7 should I start a new topic for Windows vista and my logs.
I should also mention that I am new at this kind of thing

Thanks very much

Diddy please go back to this thread http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.msg451454#msg451454 and read thoroughly, everything is explained there clearly with detailed instructions and pictures.

Stick with one system at a time otherwise confusion is bound to happen.

hi Diddy,

Here's how it works:
  • Programs requested are to be used as scanning tools only the first time around, with the exception of AdwCleaner.
  • AdwCleaner is safe to delete any bad internet stuff found as essexboy would have to remove it later anyway.  It just makes essexboy's job a little easier and saves quite a bit of time as well.
  • essexboy looks over the four logs you attach.
  • essexboy will either give you a fix where you copy/paste into otl and then click run fix or have you use another program to scan and attach that log.  How far the cleaning process goes does vary; deeper infections require more work and more precise and careful cleaning, thus more steps.
  • This cleaning process requires the logs so he can fix; the fix is presented on the basis of 'do no harm to a victim's computer'.  He will make sure no entries related to say, Microsoft Office, are harmed or removed in any way, as an example.

Without the logs nothing can be done.  The user should never attempt to use these programs to fix anything on their own (AdwCleaner is ok); that is why essexboy is fully certified in malware removal.   Just attach the log for AdwCleaner after scanning or deleting bad items.

Never delete an infected file; always quarantine it if possible.
HI I was wanting to ask another question when I run aswmbr should I disable avast free

thanks
EDIT:  Yes, disable Avast! Free temporarily by selecting disable until reboot option.

No do not start a new topic.....you have started this, so we dont want you to post all over the forum..
also essexboy is notified about this topic

in essexboys guide, there is a picture of OTL....read instructions above....and under the picture

i know its my way which is quicker way to sort this mess like backup your files on extra hard drive, fresh install windows, install service pack and catch up updates = 2-3hrs
