To Tech,
Ref:-
1. "Dave, I forgot to tell you in my 1st post that in the Sys Files in the Chest I have 4
dll's, two-kernel32.dll's and two-winsock.dll's. I restored two-OK, but I can't remember
if it was one of each or two of the same name. I also ran SuperAntiSpyware and got only
Adware."
Answer to comment on above:
[Because nothing in the Help tells you what to do in the Chest. You have the advantage of
experience. I didn't know why the dll's were there. It seemed the logical course of
action to attempt a restore considering these are vital service dll's and no advice in
the Help].
2. "The freeze started [intermittent again] but here's the kicker- this "tinySpell" is
linked to a Rootkit in the Chest."
Answer to comment on above:
[By "link," I obviously mean that the Rootkit has some relation to "tinySpell" as
indicated next to "tinySpell" in the Chest. I know the connection is safe. The question
is, what do I now do with the Rootkit (ref: Comment below)].
3. "I downloaded and installed the avast Virus Cleaner. Is this conflicting with avast?"
Answer to comment on above:
[This was speculation. The Cleaner is a separate app. I understand that it can sometimes
remove "certain" malware that (presumably) avast can't. If the Cleaner is not needed,
why is it offered? My assumption therefore, is that I should then uninstall it!?]
Comment: Given the range of items picked up by the scan that we are advised to put in the
Chest, it would be helpful to novices and easier on others if the developers gave
some general advice in the Help as to how to process the Chest.
Thank you for your comments and as always on this Forum, your prompt response.
