For quick access to the above-mentioned .ini file

You could try Start --> Run
then type in path given by DavidR which is -- C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\Data\avast4.ini
press OK and the file should open for you
Avast7 Free, MBAM (on demand), MVPS Hosts

Intel DG41TY, Windows 7 Ultimate, IE9, Google Chrome, 4 GB ram, Secunia PSI, ccleaner, Foxit Reader, Faststone Image viewer, MWSnap.

I seldom use the Start --  Run command, but it certainly is another good way to find a file.
Thank you Mkis for reminding me.
It is so nice to have people on line from all over the world.  I am up very early in the morning in the states.  It is only 2 AM now.  There are always people from somewhere on line to help with questions and answers.

AVG and Avast paid and free are both good. My preference is with Avast.
Just seems to pick more nasties up, but not as friendly interface as AVG.

avast 5 will have a new interface. You'll find it terrific.

I use AVAST home edition.
I was most impressed that it found "stuff" that AVG and Norton just ignored, in the beginning.
Now it seems to identify every "threat" as a Trojan.
Is there something I'm missing?
Maybe a setting to actually tell me what the threat really is, and what the program is doing about it?

What do you call threat?
Can you say what is the infected file name, where was it found (C:\windows\system32\infected-file-name.xxx)?
What is the virus name?
