What will sending it to the virus lab do?
Just so you know, after I posted the link to virus total, I scanned with Avast again, but using the scan folder feature and scanned that exact folder. When the scan was done, it said a threat was detected and then it showed me the results and I was able to move it to the virus chest then. Did that help my problem? Because I ran the scan again on the folder and then it said no threat was found.
After I moved it to the virus chest, I was away from my computer for a while and when I came back, it had restarted. Then a window popped up saying Windows recovered from an unexpected shutdown. Did this have anything to do with the supposed virus?
Also, just so you know, I have experienced an internet explorer pop up every once and a while about some survey, and when i searched about the survey online, others said that that was adware. Did that have anything to do with this virus?
Sorry for all of the questions, I'm just a bit confused.
And also, when I sent it to the virus lab, nothing happened. I right clicked on the file in the virus chest, clicked submit to virus lab, and nothing happened. No windows popped up or anything. Should anything happen?
