I was doing a search on Google chrome, windows xp, and I was trying to find a list of books by my favorite author. I had not done anything online for 20 minutes or so, as I was working on some other documents, when AVAST red alerts started flying at me. Each one was different. First they were about download malicious files, then something else, then many Trojan horse attacks. So I shut everything down. Closed chrome and they still came. Then I went back to the forum and ran an OTL. I thought I was supposed to get two notepad notes, at least that is what they told me last time on the forum, so I ran it twice. However, I did only get 1 notepad note, so I am attaching it now. I was trying to deal with the Avast help. and then that crazy avast total support, because I bought their package, and truthfully buying that package and having them "fix" or so they say, my computer has been a huge mess. I have tried to talk to avast and their company because I want my money back, and I want to tell them before I report them to the BBB for this total package crap. They mislead on their website saying that you have 24/7 tech support, but they can't help you unless you buy the package and they ship you overseas and hours later your computer is worse!
Sorry for the rambling and this is why I am coming here to one of you. I know Essexboy helped me last time and I am so extremely grateful!
Thanks for teaching us there are alternatives.
