MalwareBytes and Avast ?
Hello,
Have a few questions regarding the AV I use, Avast Free:
I did a full system scan, boy, it takes a long time, and it found two
instances of win32:vitro.
Questions:
a. How come it did not prevent this viruse from entering ny system in the
first place ?
I do have all of their "Shields" turned on.
b. I have both instances that it found quaranteed in their "Chest".
It describes this as being a perfectly safe to leave them.
Is it ?
Apparently, there is no option for totally removing it that I can find.
Is there a way to get it out of the Chest, and totally removed ?
Assuming there is somew way, is this better than just leaving in their Chest ? Why ?
c. I also did a Boot scan. How is this different from their Full System Scan ?
d. Their are 2 Users on the PC.
Is it necessary to do the Full System Scan, and the Boot Scan, separately for each User, or it scans everything on the PC, irrespective of which User is logged in ?
Much thanks,
appreciate the help,
Bob
