help with Avira anti virus

Sam1903

I have just removed mcafee and installed Avira after reading another post who had problems with AOL.
However My security shows antivius is out of date and the warning shield is showingI have scanned for updates but shield still showing.
What have i done wrong?

Sam1903

ok have restarted twice and the warning shield has disappeared.
Can anyone advise does Avira scan automatically or do i have to do it manually
Thanks Sam

You should have said that from the start

Stop the Avira scan (just for now)

Download MALWAREBYTES (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD NOW')
http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html
UPDATE and FULL SCAN
Post the log here AFTER youve deleted everything it finds


reboot

Download HIJACK THIS (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
http://www.filehippo.com/download_hijackthis/
Click DO A SCAN AND SAVE A LOGFILE (Takes seconds) then post the log so we can see whats running
(do NOT do anything else with Hijack but scan and post the FULL log)

You have to set the scheduler yourself by the look of it

I've only ever ran manual scans since I loaded this to my lappy in February

just had a look at the scheduler and the activation box isn't ticked, so it looks like that's the default when you first install the software :eek:

although the auto update is activated at 24hrs by default

sorry was away from computer and left avia to run it forund 18 detections with 8 warnings. What was Mcafee doing!!!!!!!!
Now running malwarebytes scan already use this
How do i post log?

Delete everything Malwarebytes finds and it will auto open a notepad log. RIGHT click and COPY all

then RIGHT click and PASTE to here

Mcafee was doing what it always does ~ slowing the computer down and missing all the nasties
