Hello!
My husband was getting virus detected messages when he tried to download files. During a boot scan of his laptop, Avast (free version 2014, just installed yesterday-- I had to put it on via flash drive from my pc since I couldn't download it) found
PUP:win32:installer-L, a virus that prevents downloads. I chose option 2, "fix all automatically." Nothing else was detected and the scan completed. I looked at the log and saw that it was successfully moved to chest.
Afterwards, I tried to download an exe file to test it, and I couldn't download the file. I received an error message because of a virus detected. I ran another boot scan, which came up clean.
Is there some sort of patch or fix for this? There must be something still hanging around from the installer-L. Any ideas of what to do, if not?
PS--I hope this post is not a duplicate. I had a problem the first time--didn't realize I had to verify again before posting. Then when I did, it said the message was posted.... but it wasn't....
Thanks,
JB
