Thanks for that valuable info whocares.
I always do that too when I suspect false positives... but this situation was a little different.
You see... the reason why I did not take any action is because I did not want Avast to move WinMX's (
settings.dat) file becasue I was afraid of screwing up all my settings and possibly corrupting something. Plus the DAME (Dark Angel M.E.) virus does not infect .DAT files. Only .EXE and .COM files.... so I found the whole experience to be very bewildering.
Since 4 other virus products: Command, Frisk (F-Prot), BitDefender, and HouseCall found NOTHING... it must be a fluke.
But if I come accross this again... (which I have yet to even re-create)... I will do, just that.
BTW: Yeah, I was also a little *agrivated* in my earlier thread.
I'm good now! lol
