my system is w982ed. 256meg ram. 80 gig hard drive with 30 gig used.Normally I have 205 meg of RAM free on start up. With Avast 4.6 installed I have 170 meg of ram free. Avast puts three items in start up.
Please HELP !!! I installed Avast4 with no problems. 170 meg of free ram is Not good but a lot better than NAV.
Heres my question. I ran a C/drive deep scan virus check. 100,000 folders and was only half way Thur in 4 1/2 hours. I stopped but will do the rest tonight.
Avast 4.6 found a virus and I put it in the Virus chest. there were also 3 other entries in the chest.
1. command.com from c drive from some time in 1999
2. Kernel32.dll from c/windows/system from 1999
3. Wsock32.dll from c/windows/system from 2003
and 4. the virus UniDist.ocx from C/program files/downloaded programs from 2003
I also have a Virus in a Quarantine folder from Norton antivirus. it is just a number 22554cf2.exe
Now,
what do I do with these items?. Just delete them? or?
I sure would appreciate any guidance as i have read the help files and the best they do is give me 4 options. But no indication as to which is best. Thanks again.
Also , is a deep scan always that slow?
I also have one other question. When i installed Avast I am sure I was able to check and uncheck many different options . Now with the Simple user interface when I click the dropdown menu it only has a few items to be selected. How do i get all the original options to show up?
Thanks very much for any help you may offer.
