MSUPDATE VIRUS MADE IT THROUGH

[laserkid]

Hi

I was running avast on my home network and MSUpdate Virus (W32/Protoride.worm) made it through not once but 4 or 5 times.  I choose to remove Avast from 3 of the computers and install AVG.  AVG is lame compared to AVAST so I really want to go back to avast but do not want to have to fight with virus removal.

Anyone else had MSupdate virus get through AVAST

I cannot remember exactly..... but it was set to check everything, I think the highest it could go.

I also am having a problem with this one, and Avast cannot remove it or send it to the vault. It tells me
C:\windows\start menu\programs\startup\msupdate.exe is infected by "Win 32:Protoride-C-UPX (WRM)" virus
UPS Version 0403-23 03/31/2004
I am using Avast Home Edition 4.1 on Win 98SE.

Can anyone help please?
Thank you
