Hello there,
I have a problem and would like to ask for help to solve it. As usual, I infected my computer somehow. Well, you know, it happens. This time, it really freaked me out, because I used a "program" many times and it caused me troubles (or I suppose it did) now, after few years when I am using Avast. Actually, before I started that kind of software, I also got a virus or something from friend's flash drive.
So, the c2e.exe appeared in prefetch folder of windows and aas far as I know, I can delete it from there with no harm. But, I don't know if it does or does not refer to a actual virus. My last reinstall (format of hdd) was two months ago and I'd really like to avoid it, or take it as a last resort. I actually think the reinstall can improve the whole system performance, but it also take some time to install drivers and needed software.
Also, I have to say, to avoid problems with my virus/malware/whatever, I switched Avast off, so it doesn't bother me with popups, doesn't want me to restart system or check the system at the start, so it appers that it's no big deal. The main problem is, that I use the computer for a school purposes, and I am afraid of transfering a virus through a flash drive I own, which unfortunately also contain that particular program and thus may be infected.
Finally, the last thing I have on my mind is, that last time I'd been forced to reinstall was after deleting (or putting a infected file into quarantine). So I would definitelly don't want to experience it again.
Thanks in advance, Dartvader.
