Good Afternoon
Yesterday evening I had the following message on my laptop:-
avast! Warning
A Virus Was Found
File name: C:\PROGRAM FILES\APOINT 2K\APOINT.EXE
Malware name: Win32:Malware-gen
Malware type: Virus/Worm
VPS version: 100612-1, 12/06/2010
I followed the recommended action and moved to chest and the laptop is working perfectly but I get the following message soon after boot-up:-
" Windows cannot find 'C:\PROGRAM FILES\APOINT2K\APOINT.EXE'. Make sure you typed the name correctly,and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button,and then click Search."
I cannot understand why this comes up on its own as I haven't searched for it or used the file in any way.
Please can you tell me what to do next with what is in my virus chest and do I need to do anything about the above message? Simple terms only please as I am only a beginner with computer 'nuts and bolts'.
Best regards
Roy
