virus chest
« on: December 30, 2011, 07:10:26 PM »
where is the virus chest?  and can I get into it? I did a boot scan today and with all the options on what to do with the results, I finally chose the chest. Can it be opened, can the results in there be repaired? thanks for help and advice.

Thanks, found it,duh. I did a boot scan because Avast recommended I do so. It took several hours and had a veeeeeeerrrrrrry long list of problems , most of them said 'infected by Java'.  I really didn't know what to pick to deal with them. Should I have picked  'repair'? k65
