Avast is

Useless topic by an obvious troll Clo$ed

Welcome to Piriform One little tip for you, don't put spam links in your signature. Thanks

yes

I really like it I must say. Am going to recommend it in my prevention speech when doing malware removal

If you run two anti-virus programs together you will have major slow-down and other issues like BSOD The MS SP program should not conflict with your AV since like you said, its not an AV.

Am closing this topic since no good can come from it. I suggest you don't program things like keyloggers which in most cases are considered malware.

Sounds like the dealer has screwed you over, I'd bring it back and get a refund and report him if he is selling pirated Windows

zip it and attach it

Doubt this is related to CCleaner myself

nothing much This program is junk and can go if you want PC-Doctor for Windows

You now need to update your Java and remove your older versions. Please follow these steps to remove older version Java components. * Click Start > Control Panel. * Click Add/Remove Programs. * Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in the name. * Click the Remove or Change/Remove button. Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE), and install it to your computer from here

Martin there are a few things I think you would do well to listen to if you want to stick around here First off, don't make wild crazy conspiracy theories about CCleaner. The problem was most definitely on your side. CCleaner has given multiple options for not installing the toolbar, they don't force it on people. Second, making threats like this is not going to help your argument You can use what you want, but don't threaten us for a mistake on your part. Thirdly and finally, don't be rude to somebody ( kmillerusaf ) who was trying to help you. Your comments were way out of line towards him and I moved your last post as it was completely uncalled for. I suggest you cool your jets for 24 hours and really look back at your posts cause they were way out of line.

give this a shot Boot from the Windows XP installation CD. At the "Welcome to Setup" screen, press R to start Recovery Console. Choose the installation to be repaired by number (usually 1) and press "Enter". When you are asked for the Administrator password, leave it blank and press "Enter". At the command prompt, type chkdsk /r and press "Enter". (Note the space before /r) The disk check operation will start. This will be a very thorough check of the hard drive and the file system...be patient and let it complete. It may appear to hang or even back up a few times...this is normal. 60 to 90 minutes is not unusual for this check...it may take longer in some cases. Once the check completes and you are back at the command prompt, type exit and press "Enter". Let your computer boot normally to Windows.

You have malware Head over to the Spyware Hell forum

Joanie when you did your original scan with The Shield, did it detect anything or did you fix anything with it ?

Spyware Doctor is a piece of junk that wont even remove the most basic infections out there. Even if they were paying me $25 to use it, I still wouldn't MBAM is so far ahead of Spyware Doctor that its like comparing a rock to an orange as a piece of food.

Two things you should do Your using an old version of Adobe Acrobat Reader, this can leave your pc open to vulnerabilities, you can update it here : http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html Please download JavaRa to your desktop and unzip it to its own folder Run JavaRa.exe, pick the language of your choice and click Select. Then click Remove Older Versions. Accept any prompts. Open JavaRa.exe again and select Search For Updates. Select Update Using Sun Java's Website then click Search and click on the Open Webpage button. Download and install the latest Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version for your computer.

Both are great, I prefer Avira as it seems to do the best against new infections Not really many cons for either

Go and post in the SpywareHell forum. Looks like you got malware

Flash disinfecter is very good. Its what we use in the malware removal community when dealing with USB infections.

The CCleaner.exe file is 100% clean. You have Virut, what that does is infect every file on your PC, including the new ones you download. It is a problem on your side for sure.

Pretty positive your problem is due to having an infection on your PC already. It is a file infecter called Virut, and it will infect every new .exe .rar .zip etc files The only solution for you is to reformat These need to be wiped : all programs, all .exe + .scr executables, downloaded archives (.zip + .rar) and now, according to a very trustworthy colleague, this newer variant injects all .htm + .html files

This has gone on too far IT IS a false positive. CHESTON please don't PM staff as well. This is clearly a problem on Webroots part, you can get in touch with them about it. I have run the CCleaner installer through VirScan.org/Jotti/Virustotal, which scans it with around 40 anti-virus scanners. None of them detect any problems. It is completely clean. Closing this topic since its clearly wrong and getting nowhere

Like Hazel said, its a FP
