Avast! goes mad and starts telling me what to do with it, it recomends that i move it to chest, which i do.

Apparently AVAST did pick it up as soon as it downloaded. It is now safely quarentined so that it cannot execute. When you scan, it won't detect it inside its own quarentine folder because it put it there. You can go into that folder and permanently delete the item. The guy who got infected with it was like the old saying, "a day late and a dollar short". He either didn't have his virus protection running or it was not properly updated.

Ok thanks for that, it reasures me, ill just deleate it via the cheast.
Anyway ive got that thing done Unlovedwarrior and its says im completely free of anything.

Yea ive got my FF custome enabled for cookies, only websites i put in the list are able to.
Ok well scan done unlovedwarrior and everything seems ticketyboo.
But i did get this, ive attached an image of it, as you may notice all the files have something to do with Rihanna (the singer, shes stuning!!) , could these files be infected, becuase all it says is 'Unable to scan'....
Thanks again in advance


Chris

[unlovedwarrior]

try scanning them in safe mode the whole folder that there are in

[Raptor]

Rihanna who? I still listen to Ella Fitzgerald.  

Strange that your files are unscanable . In what folder are they located?

[chriscool9]

Errrmm, good question Raptor, give me a few mins.


Chris

[chriscool9]

This might sound silly but i dont think they exist, i cant find them anywhere and some of them i dont even think ive downloaded
Anyway i think theyll be ok becuase theyre files that cant really become infected, i mean .m3u (which is a playlist i think) isnt able to be infected....
So am i all clear?!


Chris

[unlovedwarrior]

if avg found them then they are they some where are u sure they arent hidden

[chriscool9]

AVG?
Do you mean Avast! ?? Anyway ill have another look around.


Chris

[unlovedwarrior]

yea do a search for one of the songs


start search

[chriscool9]

Ok i looked at that log and it made me remember that a while back I 'accuired' Rihanna's album (it's WinRar'd), i went to where the album was located and sure enough all the file names in the log are the same as the ones in the Rar file. But its funny because there are alot of other Rar'd files in that directory and they scan fine.
