Hi bob
yeah I've done that
anti malware said it found infected files and gave me option to remove them, and to reboot computer.
I did that and now my mouse dont work and when i click on an icon (to run avast for example) none of the file extensions are associated with a file program.
on the bright side, i use my pc to store stuff as a server and all my important stuff is on my laptop. I'm still miffed (thats upset in UK) that Avast didnt catch this one, it should have at least been been picked up with by heuristics.
I will check in the morning as I have to go out now. Thank you for taking the time.
Regards
Rich
