I am sorry, but u misundrstood my question. These files are already in the Virus Chest. The first two were transferred on 2-25-2010; the third on 3-1-2010; the fourth and fifth on 3-5-2010; the sixth and seventh on 2-25-2010 and the last one on 2-27-2010.
I need to uninstall Avast and then reinstall. I read somewhere in thisforum that when Avast is uninstalled files that r in the virus chest are automatically deleted and cannot be retrieved via a restore.
My question then is: Is it all right if these files are deleted or will they affect the computer in some way? If not, I will go ahead and perform the Avast uninstall and reinstall. If yes, then how can I prevent the avast uninstall from deleting the files that I would need to keep?
On 3-2-2010 I installed Malwarebytes, and on that same date it quarantined the following:
Trojan.Agent - C:\Archivos de programa\DAEMON Tools Pro\PatchL33VaNcL33F.exe
Adware.Seekmo - C:\Roll1\setup.exe
Trojan.FakeAlert - Registry Key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\toprates.Video
MalwareTrace - Registry Key HKEY_CURRENT_USER_SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bind
Disabled.SecurityCenter - Registry Data - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center\AntiVirusDisableNotify [Data1]
Disabled.SecurityCenter - Registry Data - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center\FirewallDisableNotify [Data1]
It would be nice if AVAST would indicated what happens to the files in virus chess when the program is deleted and what can be done, if anything.
On my last computer I installed Spybot and got panicked and deleted what I now know is called "false positives" when in a scan many files came up as "viruses". Since I did not know i deleted these and landed up throwing away the computer as it was not worth fixing because of its age. So much for my computer and Spybot!!! But image this happening to a new computer?
Thanks
