Hello guys!
1- I was testing some viruses that I have with Avast.
2- One of the files detected (online[1].chm) was detected as win32:codbas-12[Trj] and inside of it Avast found another virus called win32:startpage-006[trj] (its a random name dll).
3- Avast fails to put it in quarantine and to delete it... It always return a message when avast try to do something with this virus.
4- The other viruses (not related with this chm file) found were removed without a problem.
5- This chm file is not in use, and can be deleted by hand without a problem. I did it a lot of times while testing avast against this virus...So I dont know why avast cant do anything with it. (I tried with AVG... And Avg detects only the chm file and remove it, the entire chm file, so the dll that is inside is removed too)
6- Boot scan makes no good...Nothing happens with this file...
It seems that Avast cant remove the dll inside of the chm and cant remove the chm itself either...
Is this behavior normal? Should the users of Avast delete by hand this viruses? Or Avast have some kind of problem with it?
Theres no chance to get infected with this virus because avast block it.. so dont worry.. It just matter of the remove of it.. (delete or quarantine)
Should I send this file to Alwil to check if its normal? And maybe see if it can remove this virus using avast only without having to delete by hand?
Thanks for your time,
Elminster
