Things look kind of dicey for the latest Version of Avast. Here's one thread, dating from March 10th, to which 189 people have posted and *9867* people have viewed: Good Bye Avast - I need my CPU Back http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=56876.0 > 2.

Are you referring to the Microsoft Fixit pages or MBAM ? Here's a list of the current Fixit pages, ordered as they came online: http://blogs.technet.com/fixit4me/default.aspx It appears there hasn't been any additions to that page since January 29th. > 3.

The old memory ain't what it use to be. Would you please check in User Accounts to see how many there are when you get the time ? Thanks. Cya Wednesday.

From: Bruce Parent on 28 Apr 2010 21:33 malwarebytes only detected avast. all quarantined avast items were deleted onecare detected only normal situations counts of this and that no malware; it did reset a remembered password (email). I will examine fixit page but was more interested in software tools like onecare and malwarebytes. I only have 1 (one) userid. even before rebuild of the OS. since rebuild I have only had the one userid. I will consider adding a second as I have been somewhat careless and picked up a few viruses since this problem began. (all since deleted according to virus packages). As a former security officer I shudder at written down passwords. but written down clues are a different matter. cya has multiple meanings (not all good) but yeah you've been a big help -- Bruce Parent "MowGreen" wrote: > Comments inline: > > Bruce Parent wrote: > > I attempted windows update from brueggers bagels with no success. > > I ran malwarebytes 3 registry > > rogue antivirus suite registry key hkey current user software avsuite > > rogue antivirus suite.gen registry value hkey current user software > > microsoft current version run jxfuvxik value jxfuvxik > > trojan fraudpak registry key hkey current user software avsoft > > all of these may have occured last night.

From: Bruce Parent on 29 Apr 2010 23:45 I have only one userid no hidden id (I think). I know how to choose the administrator name during system build like with my servers and did so using my userid. I AM the administrator. Vista doesn't care. It is like linux in that even the administrator is not the administrator unless (s)he asks nicely. (Linux has even invaded my dearly departed mainframe OS (no longer called MVS except by us dinosaurs). I see fixit pages mention avira antivirus. I have for some time known kaspersky to be the best antivirus and at that price it certainly ought to be. I also found comodo antivirus (rated (almost) equal to kaspersky in one evaluation and priced right). avast has not acknowledged my issue but that may only indicate poor communication skills in their support, but my patience with them is running thin. I will examine the various tech support pages you mentioned. cya (the good one) -- Bruce Parent "MowGreen" wrote: > Bruce Parent wrote: > > malwarebytes only detected avast. all quarantined avast items were deleted > > onecare detected only normal situations counts of this and that no malware; > > it did reset a remembered password (email). > > I will examine fixit page but was more interested in software tools like > > onecare and malwarebytes. > > I only have 1 (one) userid. even before rebuild of the OS. since rebuild I > > have only had the one userid.
