I'm running Windows XP Home on a Pentium IV 3.19 GB Mhz computer with Avast and Kerio firewall free edition - using the Google toolbar as a pop up stopper. My IE 6 has all its updates and I'm using Spybot to stop spyware. I'm not running any other antivirus programmes but see last paragraph for further information.
Anyway I ran a full system scan with Avast set to Thorough scan and to scan archive files, I'm using the Demo version.
Of course it came up with the Panda files I've seen mentioned elsewhere in the forum and also a Trojan - Win32:RPCExploit[Trj]. I deleted it during a full scan having disabled System Restore and then restarted and scanned again - and it was still there but the file path read to within the Moved folder within Avast itself. I then double checked running an online scan with Panda and it was fine, said I was clean.
I looked in the Moved folder but there's nothing showing up in it.
Avast is still coming up with the same Trojan warning every time and this page -
http://www.avast.com/i_kat_322.html describes the exact problem I'm having in the first FAQ.
I'm wondering if there is a way to stop Avast coming up with this particular virus alert if the virus isn't really there. At least that's what I understand from the FAQ, that Avast is just showing that the file has been moved. The first time I scanned and found virus files I told it to move all the three Panda files and the trojan to the Virus Chest whilst I investigated.
I am not running any other antivirus programme but Symantec which I uninstalled when it started crashing XP suddenly last week is still all over the registry. Again I'm not sure whether to delete the Symantec registry entries or to leave them. At the moment I'm not experiencing any system problems except that XP froze on me when I turned System Restore back on and I had to restart and try again - it let me turn System Restore back on the second time though and I have created a Restore Point.
Sorry if I'm waffling I'm trying to give as much information as possible.
