Hi,
I have another thread going where I am seeking advice for a virus issue on one of my computers. Out of interest (and a concern that I may have more hidden problems) I decided to follow the 8-step thingy on my second computer. When I attempt to download GMER on the second PC, avast tells me the file is harbouring a trojan (although this didn't happen when I downloaded it on the first computer). I know that I'm supposed to turn my antivirus off before running the program, but the warning (and quarantining of the file) is occuring during the file download, before I even attempt to run it.
Is Avast being over-protective? Or is there a problem here?
Thanks,
Bek
