Wierd since de download comes from Microsoft update an Avast is saying that de file am_delta_patch is not digitally signed. Wierder that it belogs to MpCmdRun.EXE and that is Windows Defender and Security Essentials.

So it may be a false positive of Avast? I attached all possible files to check if my PC is infected with virus.

Essexboy gave you a clean bill of health and reported your case so it just a matter of waiting and see what Avast finds out.

The initial fix removed some adware that uses chrome, but as you don't have that it was a bit wasted :)

How is the computer behaving otherwise ?

He did not find anything else and he is aking how you feel the system. If you report strange behavior, popus, freezing, BSOD he would have run more tests otherwise he did not see fit to do anything else.

Ok, thanks for the clarification, friend!

Let's wait for the answer of Avast. Anyway, in the future, I have thought of buying Windows 8, so I will format the hard drive and everything evil will be deleted, but as I said, I will make thisn in the future.

The alert appears again: :(
Hello,
it looks, that the downloading was interrupted so it does not contain digital signature so we could not verify that it comes trusted source.

So what should I do? If I allow the download, may damage my PC?

Hello,
the scanned file can be found in c:\Windows\Temp\_avast_\ with name containing ".unp" extension (maybe you will have to set in webshield settings "action" for Virus, PUP, Suspicious to "Ask" ). Can you upload the file to our ftp://ftp.avast.com/incoming/ and let me know the uploaded filename? I would like to see if the file really has no digital signature.

Hello,
do you have set webshield settings "action" for Virus, PUP, Suspicious to "Ask"? And also don't close the Avast's alert window.

Hello Milos!

You refer to the configuration of Avast? Where should I go to check it?

Hello,
UI -> Settings -> Active protection -> Web shield -> Customize -> Actions and check all tabs "Virus", "PUP", "Suspicious".
