September 23, 2005, 4:29pm 1 When I started up my computer avast caught it and I tried to move to chest but it wouldn’t do it at first. I strated system scan and a virus was detected in the memory of avast so it rebooted and started in safe mode to start scan. Imay get the name a little off, I think it said virus detected in windows/system32/awtst.dll When it said, file found in windows…are you sure you want to delete it I said no. Should I delete it? Thanks. DavidR September 23, 2005, 4:42pm 2 Are you sure it started in safe mode (800x600 resolution and 256 colours)? Or did it start a scan before windows started?If you have an option to move it to the chest (or if it gives a Move option), that is the safest option, it can not do any harm there.They can a a later time be deleted from the chest after investigation.There is no rush to delete anything from the chest, they can’t do any harm there. Anything that you send to the chest you should leave there for a week or two, to ensure your system is OK. That way the file is still available to restore if required, after that time if everything is ok you can delete it from within the chest. system September 23, 2005, 4:51pm 3 Thanks for the fast reply.

2025-04-21Whenever I run a full system scan of my hard drive, Avast 4.8 Home Edition stops at a file with a potential virus. It has a very long file name with a lot of random numbers for most of it, but the first characters are always “EasyPDF”. I always say to move the file and add the “.vir” extension. I then go to the moved folder and delete that file.I’ve tried searching my hard drive for any files that start with “EasyPDF” and can’t find any. How can I find where this file resides and get rid of it forever? DavidR July 3, 2008, 5:25pm 2 There is no point in moving and then finding and deleting it almost instantly, effectively the same as choosing delete.Deletion isn’t really a good first option (you have none left), ‘first do no harm’ don’t delete, send virus to the chest and investigate.What is the infected file name, where was it found e.g. (C:\windows\system32\infected-file-name.xxx) ?Check the avast! Log Viewer (right click the avast ‘a’ icon), Warning section, this contains information on all avast detections. But you’ve deleted it, how will you find it? ???To be sure you’re clean, I suggest:Disable System Restore and reenable it after step 3.Clean your temporary files.Schedule a boot time scanning with avast with archive scanning turned on. If avast does not detect it, you can try DrWeb CureIT! instead.Use SUPERantispyware, MBAM or Spyware Terminator to scan for spywares and trojans. If any infection is detected, better and safer is
