I updated (or reinstalled) my Avast antivirus this weekend. The deep scan detected two rootkits affecting some Java files. I decided to let Avast delete the two rootkits.
I have allowed the program to reboot my system and run a boot-time scan, twice, as it requests. However, when I rescan, Avast claims the two rootkits are still in the Sandbox, and in order to complete their removal, I have to allow a boot-time scan!
What am I doing wrong (if anything)? TDSS Killer did not find the purported rootkits.
Any advice is welcome. Thanks.
