When my PC was infected and avast kept giving me a "malicious url blocked" message, I saved photos to a CD-R, just in case. Running TDSSKiller, as suggested in a "malicious url blocked" thread, got rid of the problem, but tonight my browser was redirected to a fake scanning page with a pop-up that said the usual: Click here to save your computer. This happened while a photo disc of mine was in the D drive. I scanned it with avast and Malwarebytes, and nothing was found, but when I had the problem that TDSSKiller removed, avast and Malwarebytes didn't find anything either.
I would hate for the computer of anyone in my family to become infected by a CD-R I burned while trying to save valuable -- to me -- photos while my PC was infected.
Questions:
Is it possible for an avast and Malwarebytes scan to miss an infection, and is it possible for the CD-R to infect another computer?
