Is it possible that Trojan-gen UPX corrupted avast?
I'll say disable, mess... but not corrupt. Anyway, glad you have avast! woriking again.

By the way, do you advise setting the protection level to normal or high?
Nowadays, the difference is not that big.
But if you set custom and disable open/create/modified files scanning, then you'll see a big difference in performance. But, in this case, the protection level is low. I mean, you can 'have' an infected file in your computer. It can't infect your system as the virus cannot be executed. But you have it there. Some users can't live with the 'bad guy' inside of the house. Others, need performance, and when the file is executed then the virus is stopped and nothing happens, so, they left the 'bad guy' silently into the computer... It's a risk, but they want more performance. You must choose.
