Files won't delete from virus chest
« on: October 04, 2020, 07:44:52 PM »
On a new PC during a PCMover transfer of files, Avast stopped the process by finding a virus in PCMover.exe. I can see it in the virus chest; mark it for deletion; but when I click delete, it's still there. I believe it prevents me from re-installing PCMover because that installation process claims it can't access a certain directory where PCMover.exe used to be.

How can I get that file off my system?
