Win32:nitro
« on: January 30, 2010, 02:43:14 AM »
Im using Avast 5 Home edition and something weird is happening....

Now and then when i click on some program files on a backup drive it says they are infected with this virus and sends to the chest.

Now ive done a FULL virus scan twice and nothing is picked up yet now and then it still detects this in one or two program files.  Is this a false positive?

Its really starting to annoy me now.

You got a real infection. You need to format and start over with a clean reinstall of your OS.

So back up all your personal files onto a disk or CD (Do not back up your files with a USB stick and do not back up any executables, music or video files. Only back up documents).

You can also use Dr. Web CureIt.

Thats just it i DONT have it tho, its not infecting my my O/S and on scans they dont detect anything.

But now and then when i click on random program files on a backup drive it says its infected yet a scan says its not infected.

Is this false positives?

do you have any other antivirus programs installed?
did you have any installed before you installed avast?

MBAM is not a antivirus...
Did you have any antivirus program before you installed avast ?
Did the computer come with norton or McAfee installed when new?
if so, have you removed/uninstalled it ? and run the corresponding uninstall tool to remove all traces from the program
can be found here http://uninstallers.blogspot.com/

I have scanned my system now using Panda Active scan online, Symantec Online scanner, Malwarebytes and Spybot and all say my system is totally clean!
