Vik,
I still get a load of rootkit hidden file comments when I run a thorough scan. This afternoon a single file report popped up without having to run an Avast scan at all. I did the usual; ignore, reload and run bootscan...... as before, NIL found.
Are you any nearer finding the problem with this? I am going to revert back to version 1229 to avoid rootkits in the meantime, unless I can do any more to help.
Regards
Gerard
