Hi, David!
Thank you for your hellpful advice! I printed it out for myself. I will try to scan again as you say. I am not sure I know how to do a complete one, so will do individual ones (on all parts of the listed parts of the computer) until they are all scanned and taken care of.
Bye.
Debby
Hi Debby,
I think you have replied on the wrong thread which may confuse some reading this, but no harm done, I remember what it was about.
You can run a full scan by right clicking on the Avast icon on the system tray and select "Start Avast Antivirus. There will be a short memory test followed by the display of Avast Simple User Interface, you will see three icons on the right side, click the top one (hover the mouse over it first, a message "local disks, etc." will be displayed), having clicked it select the disks that you want checked. Then click the Start button on the left side and it will scan all the local hard drives you have selected.
If windows explorer and avast are integrated ok, you could shortcut this by right clicking on the C:\ drive and select the Scan C:\.
