huuhh first of all my windows isnt vista,is't XP,but i didnt find the right
community for it so i decided to post here..if somebody knows,please answer
me,it's important for me and my pc...READ IT I IMPLORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
today i was seeing some photos on google images..everyone know that on
google the images are little,then we gotta click the photos to enlarge them...
well i clicked one and as usual,under the image that appears,there's the
site where it came from..when the page loaded,the following message appeared:
"welcome to..." (i forgot the name of the site)
so i just clicked ok...right after,avast antivirus found a virus...and on
the message shown was telling me to desconnect...well i clicked 'desconnect'
and then i closed the web page....i ran the antivirus on my pc and avast
found no more viruses,but i don't know if the virus is outta my pc..

RE: avast antivirus..help meeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Gui..,

Have you scanned your system with your Antivirus (updated) in Safe Mode ?

Have you scanned your system for malware (spyware, adware, trojans, and
other pests) using other tools, like

Ad-Aware 2007 Free <http://www.lavasoft.de/ms/ad_aware_free.php>,

Spybot S&D Free <http://www.safer-networking.org/index2.html>,

a-Squared Free (formerly a² free) (online)
<http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/ax/>,

ewido (online) <http://www.ewido.net/en/>,

Pest Patrol (online)
<http://www.ca.com/us/securityadvisor/pestscan/default.aspx>


Donload and Install SuperAntiSpyware (Free)
<http://www.superantispyware.com/superantispywarefreevspro.html>

Scan Your Computer With the F-Secure Online Virus Scanner

Why an earth would you expect to find support for Avast in the MS
communities?
There must be a few more MS groups that you havent multi posted to.
