AVAST! Question....
I believe it is working fine because it will find and delete viruses, but every time it finishes and I get the log and these messages. Do I ignore them, delete them or what?

"UNABLE TO SCAN: <SOMETHING IS CORRUPT>"
Run an online scan to double check.

Can you post the actual Avast log for me to see here? It should be somewhere in the software.

I also reccomend scanning your computer with the fallowing programs:
http://downloads2.superantispyware.c...ntiSpyware.exe
http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes...4-10804572.htm

Also, Posting a HiJAck this log could be useful.

I'll go ahead and run it again and then post the results. Ever since I have had Avast! it's always done that.

Thanks & I'll try the online scanners also.

They arent online scanners, they are programs and they are very good I have them with the on access protection module.

You are right, the ones you mentioned I have downloaded, but blues_harp28 mentioned an online scanner. I am doing the SUPERSpyware now, but the other one had a problem installing. It said no all the files were present.....but it does look like it installed. When I'm done with this scan I'll try that one.

Thank you for these
