    did you apply any other patches recommended my Microsoft. SP2 is good but there are additional hotfixes on top of Sp2 that you need as well.

    Did you run a windowsupdate from the website or install sp2 from the CD?

    OK, run windows update now, install everything it suggests, if it fails, set your clock to 00:58, and set your autoupdate time in control panel, security center to 1am

    When finished, reboot, do another virus scan.

    I was hoping avast would say virus found in file xxxx
