Unzipped a file.. loaded the file in.. a clean .exe..
A few hours later avast is telling me the the unzipped install file is affected with a Win32:small-CFQ trojan..
Note interesting enough.. not the actual program install.. that is clean..
Just the actual install file.. from the zip..
Anyway.. deleted the file..
next day.. more exe files started showing up as infected.. (seems to be a trait of the Win32:small-CFQ trojan)..
problem of course.. is that Avast is deleting tons of files now.. and of as today.. it got a little out of control... I had to do a boot time scan.. and it deleted helps of files that have become infected..
Anyway.. the other night I did run Malawarebytes.. over night and it picked up a few things.. but looks like it didnt kill it.. (I didnt run it in windows safe mode.. might do that tonight)..
I have downloaded the new avast 5 just incase it was avast 4.8 playing up.. but that was this morning. and this afternoon it really had a spaze.. with the boot time scan..
also note.. I just tried to run a scan with Avast in "safe" mode.. but seems the new version doesn't like Xp safe mode and wont run.. humm.. seems a lite worrisome for future problems..
I cant seem to get too much info out of Google on killing this little sucker.. as did a hunt and got the usual drivel
