Hi there!
Same thing here for a month now, it's my forth re-boot now(and the time frequency is shrinking fast, because instead of in between years, months or weeks, its now in days from one to an other re-boot).
I've only been invited to download anti-virus software for a couple of days now, and no, I was not heading for potentialy dangerous web-page, it just covered the actualy web-page with somekind flash like kind of apps to give the look that I was in the anti-virus invitation page(which has all the looks of a real secured web-page, though I don't think it is)
btw; I can't even find the history record of my browser being there(!!!!??!?!!!?!??!!!!)
And I cannot save favorites on IE nor add or change any of what was in my favorite's folder in the folder itself before this last re-boot, because I have not still try in this new re-boot, I wanna find whats wrong before adding anything this time. And if I add anything, it will be one by one, untill I find if it's in whichever one of my apps.
And I was heading, to avast tonight, to find a place where I could drop my avast's anti-virus scan report here, because I firstly intended to leave this avast email, but I can't find it.
So here it is; Why can't avast anti-virus and also avast virus cleaner tool can't read these files???
(and it doesn't even give me the full path)
avast! Virus Cleaner Tool - version 1.0.211 Unicode
