Hello!
I've been using Avast for a couple of months (free version), and I've had a couple of virus "hits" recently, including one I picked up from a website.
I THINK my system is clean now, but on doing an Avast Scan (deep scan), there are a lot of "unable to scan" errors, either because of a "corrupted file" or a "password locked" file. Can't seem to recall getting this kind of thing in the past, say, with Noron or AVG.
The errors are concentrated in specific folders, most notably %/application data/% for "Spybot", a trojan hunter; program files/java/../... "MANIFEST.MF" files; Pest Patrol (another Trojan hunter); Macromedia Coldfusion & Dreamweaver/more "MANIFEST.MF" types; Norton Cleansweep/clnsweep.cfg/EXE's...
In some cases, the files are labelled as "password protected".
Is this a normal thing, or should I be concerned here?
thanks for any feedback...
