David, would you suggest I run a full scan (Thorough)?
Sorry I missed your post, sleeping
I most likely would have suggested a Standard scan not Thorough.
Hi jtaylor. I can't be sure, but it's possible. The video(s) were still there, active, even though I clicked "Abort Connection". A full scan came back clean.
The videos would still be on YouTube avast can't delete content, the Abort Connection only aborts the infected/suspect content, which as has been said might not have actually been the video, but something else trying to be downloaded to your system.
The actual media file is less likely to be infected, though there have been instances where it may be crafted in a way to exploit a media player vulnerability. However if this were the case the detected malware name I would have thought would have some exploit rather than BV:DelFiles-P [trg]
The clean scan confirms that the detected file didn't get saved on your system (or it would have been detected again), so the web shield appears to have done its job.
