Hello. My computer runs on Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit Operating System. My processor is an AMDA4-4020 with Radeon(tm)HD Graphics. I have 2GB of installed RAM. The Windows 7 Ultimate has been recently installed cleanly and in the process of being updated. When I downloaded Avast! Free Antivirus 2015 and ran a full-system scan, it came up with the result that there was a virus.
Once clicked on DETAILED REPORT, it would display this.
I tried the prompts suggested but came up with the message "Error: This function is not supported on this system 120."
I tried a boot-time scan. And it was able to detect some file corruptions but it didn't come up with suggestions on how to deal with them. Once my computer has finished the scan ans reverted back to the normal display, a warning from Avast pops up prompting me to delete a suspicious item called MBR: \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE0 infected with Hurri as the threat is supposedly HIGH. I repeated the boot-time scan using the prompt from Avast. It was able to detect the MBR but when presented with ten choices on how to deal with it... I tried pressing 5 for delete but it will come up with the reply (NOT COMPLETED) and present me with the same set of options again.
I can neither Move To Chest or choose to IGNORE or choose to FIX AUTOMATICALLY.
Once Windows 7 has loaded completely after the scan the same warning would pop up.
I've tried Malwarebytes and Malwarebytes AntiRootkit BETA. Malwarebytes couldn't find the MBR. Malware AntiRootkit could detect it but after the scan says that I don't need any CLEANUP. I've also tried GMER, and although it detected the MBR, it was not highlighted in RED and when I right click on it it offers no other choices except RESTORE.
My computer is behaving well. There has been no noticeable lag. My Windows Firewall is turned on, My Windows updates are installing well. All my programs load well too. I'm just really annoyed with the constant prompts from Avast ans I have no idea how severe this is.
As i have already invested a lot of time and effort doing the updates, I hope there's a better solution to this other than a reformatting.
I hope someone can help?
