Good afternoon all
Finally I get my hands on my daughters laptops (the are back from school for the hols) and was logging on as the Admin account (they have USER accounts and separate account if elevated priv needed) and I get a an AV alert.
OK, all stop.
Check the Win updates are good, they are
Check AVAST is up to date, it is Program version 2014.09.0.2021 and def ver is 140727-0
Start a boot scan with option to DELETE when a virus/problem is found.
OK I can understand the few PUP or ADW alerts but when I see Trj being reported I start to wonder HOW?
The girls say they have not done anything untoward and I am inclined to believe them, they just expect that 'AVAST will protect' .
I've explained about defence in depth but I think it is going on deaf teenage ears.....
My question is this.
Is there some other actions I should be doing with AVAST or other steps they could take?
Currently, as a second scan/run through, I have using the Sophos Virus Removal Tool to run a once only scan; only because it is my work corporate solution.
Your help and pointers appreciated.
