Hi i am starting to wonder, everytime i do a check it says there are 0 infected files. I have a downloaded app with java, and i was sure that would of had at least one virus in it >< . I did a thorough scan and still nothing. Does it automaticly fix them then just post 0 left? I donk know though, mabey it is just i was used to AVG which listed 10things at least everytime you did a search. ><
No, it tells you when it finds a virus with a very loud message! Why not run some online scans or even post a HJT log if your thinking your infected.. http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner
"Why not run some online scans or even post a HJT log if your thinking your infected.." Can you run online scans though limewire? HJT log? SOunds farmiliar ><

Remember: Never remove, checkmark and fix by yourself. Use Hijackthis at your own risk. -------------------------------------------------------------------- There
lol, thanks. Ya i did know about online scanners, but i wast sure if limewire had some function to allow you to do that or something. It is always amusing when you have been useing something for a long time then 5 months later you find out that there was a function to save you from tons of he!! And that HJT is new to me. Do you think if i have suspicions still even after that excrusiating slow check avast did that i should post my log? or do you think i am fine? And when looking at logs, what do you look for in them to find problems? (dont worry i wont attempt with out afterdawn)
About the limewire, lol yeh =D I would'nt worry too much about avasts slow scans, doesnt mean you have a infection.. But yeh, if your suspicious then post your HJT log on the appropriate forum and let some one else anaylse it, i would take a look at it for you but i won't have time till monday. The only worry is you said that you downloaded something you where sure had a virus and avast didnt pick it up right?? I'd pots a HJT log, instructions on how to are in my last post.
