So yesterday I visited a site (Brothersoft) that I later found out was unsafe. Avast web rep had good ratings for it so I thought it would be okay. After realising it was unsafe, I scanned with Avast, and found 4 infections. I believe 2 were in SAS and two were in Google Desktop.
So after trying boot scans and such, I failed to get rid of these infections. I decided to reinstall Windows this morning, and started over with a brand new bill of computer health.
So then I set about re-downloading and installing all my old protection, which included SAS obviously. After downloading SAS, I decided to scan with Avast. When it finished, lo and behold there were 14 infections!
They are all things along the lines of:
Process 2916 [superantispyware.exe], memory block 0x000000000[a bunch of numbers], block size [a bunch of numbers]
Severity: High
Their names are things like:
Win32:Renos-RS [Drp]
Win32:Carberp-FN [Trj]
INF:AutoRun-AX [Wrm]
Win32:Kobcka-M [Trj]
and several others like that.
They don't sound like false positives to me. I downloaded SAS from techspot.com after the official site directed me there. I'm really worried about this! What should I do can anyone please help?
