Thank you, Eddie and David!
David, when you said,
"two weeks scan it again and if it is still detected as infected then delete" do you mean that I can scan the file while it's
in the chest. I just tried doing that to see what would happen. I browsed to my Avast folder in My Programs and scanned and it said there were no infected files...I don't know if this means it didn't scan that file, or now it's saying it's not infected.
And when you said,
"Give everything a second scan (before taking the delete option) to make sure it isn't a file incorrectly detected and the VPS has been corrected.", by scanning everything a second time I guess you mean my hard drive (which would scan the file in the chest, too??). Also I don't know what you mean by VPS or how it gets corrected.
Sorry to be such a bother, but as you can tell, I know next to nothing about viruses and very little about Avast
thanks,
Liz
