Morning All,
Set Avast to Boot-time scan as advised, took rather longer than expected lol, but came down during night to check and all had finished and shutdown. Don't know whether it should have shut down, but assume cos I didn't actuall use the laptop it went into sleep mode.
Anyway! On power up this morning, looked for scan log, and 'no virus reported' so will keep an eye on things.
Thanks Johnny, x
