    No worries

    Open malwarebytes
    Goto MORE TOOLS
    then RUN TOOL
    Use the tool to destroy that pMjHnAb08514 file

    You should be ok to do it as its running
    :idea:
  • Ooops :o

    When I plugged in my netbook charger I knocked the bleepin switch and turned off the infected pc :mad::mad::mad:

    So starting the scan again :o

    But should I do anything with the object It found that I mentioned above??

    Object
    856c4-184-0.dat

    Path
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Alwil\Avast5\arpot

    Status

    Just let dr web run
    :idea:
  • Blimey.. that took about 15 hours to complete :eek:

    The only problem is it asks you what to do every time it finds something...

    So it may have been sat idle all night for all I know :o

    Should I let Dr Web delete what it has found??

    What it has found looks to be mostly in system restore files or in Combofix quarentine folder??

    I still have my AV turned off on the machine and its not connected to internet at the moment so cant get the log to this computer very easy at the moment.
