Hey Mac, I'm definitively not a hacker (Vlk says I'm a 'hacker' in the good meaning of this word... I never understood what he wanted to say...). Of course, I won't share Cojo personal data...  ;)

Thanks pk for the explanation.
Cojo, everyone hope your surgery goes fine  8)

hallo to all!

I am still getting different results on my scans...
through scan shows the virus--which I sent the log to avast!--boot scan shows nothing and I ran the avast! removal tool and it froze the computer the first time and the second time it didn't find anything...

so I am assuming that it's a false alarm...but why would it keep showing?

I await the wisdom of the group :-*

Strange, indeed. Sometime in the past I posted that were different results on scannings. I'm waiting for a conclusive answer from avast! team. Igor just kindly said that was different settings on each kind of scan running.

But, strange is that avast! removal tool had frozen your system...
What is the virus name?
You cannot assume it was a false alarm without further inspection...  :-\

Can you make an on-line scan? At my (favorite link) you can see some suggestions for this at section On-line Viruses Tests.

Anyway, take it easy. Maybe it was just a false alarm...

it says Win32.CTX is the virus and I can't even find any information on it!
that's why I think it's probably a false alarm...

Cojo,

Win32.CTX is mentioned at Trend Micro's site http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/default5.asp?VName=PE_CHOLERA.CTX and at Kaspersky http://www.viruslist.com/eng/viruslist.html?id=3162

My virus checkers have come across this one quite a few times and have stopped it from infecting my computer.   :)

Technical,

Any time Technical.   ;)   I remember the first time I ran into this virus and it took awhile searching various sites that referenced it.  It seems that this is an alias and there are different versions of it.  But they are all polymorphic Win32 viruses.

I'm still keeping in touch and waiting for that day when I can use Avast again.   ;)
