| I just did a virus scan and I got a bunch of viruses, but I can't delete them. Something like "unable to scan: T..." "unable to scan: Ar..." Can someone help me? Please, I really need help. :x |

| Don't make multiple of threads. Read this: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=42007.0 And don't have multiple of AV on your computer on at the same time. If do decided to get a different one, you will need to uninstall Avast! first. |

| Well I got a question. How come I did 2 virus scans already, (Malware bytes and Super Anti Spyware) and those didn't show up those viruses? Avast always come out with viruses that can't be scanned. |

| Those are not virus. You can remove them by yourself if you dont feel comfortable, just use file search and type the name in it |

Malwarebytes and Super Anti-Spyware scan your computer for spyware, not viruses. |

| MBAM and SAS aren't antiviruses for one. Also, just because it's unable to scan the file, does NOT mean it's virus. It just mean can't scan it (if you read that link I posted, it stated the same thing and what you can do about it). And there isn't a need to install MBAM and SAS. But he is going to get Comodo Internet Security, he would need to get rid of Avast!. |
