Ok, so my avast starts going apeshit with a malware warning. I open it up, delete it, restart, and get to a window where everything looks like it's from 1988, asking if I want to delete the problem. I click yes, and it goes nuts deleting stuff. Now, I am looking at a line that reads thusly -
File C:\windows\help\mui\0409\aclui.CHM>html\066cfb1-0e68-40bb-b889-6268f1308575.htm is infected by HTML:Script-inf File is in windows folder, are you sure? 1-Yes, 2-Yes all, 3-No, Esc-Exit : I have no idea where this shit is. I'm assuming I click yes all, but is that right? (And btw, the avast went apeshit on me as soon as I left ChiefsPlanet) |

If you don't see anything on the message box that's branding it as from a legit source(Avast, Microsoft, etc.), then I'd cancel out of it and run Malwarebytes first thing. |

Download Microsoft Security Essentials (Yes Microsoft), update the definitions and run a full scan. Security essentials is very very good at finding this nasty stuff believe it or not. |

Is it any coincidence that I downloaded IE 9 like two days ago that this shit is happening? |

I would like to reiterate what a great investment it is to purchase the full version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
It's only $25, and that gives you a version of Malwarebytes that is always running, and scans each file you access in real-time exactly like your virus scanner does. This catches spyware and malware before it has a chance to infect anything. This program has completely eliminated monthly visits to fix my grandmother's computer. And I can't tell you how much of an accomplishment and endorsement for the product that is. https://store.malwarebytes.org/342/p...am_page_button |

This is interesting. Everytime I go to try and get to MS's website, avast pops up with a malware warning....

For anyone still experiencing issues with Avast, I would recommend reading this blog update:
https://blog.avast.com/2011/04/11/fa...defs-110411-1/ Had the same issue with another computer I oversee earlier today. If you do a manual update of Avast, the pop-up error should disappear. |
