Or SUPERantispyware Or Spyware TerminatorĪlso see, anti-rootkit, detection, removal & protection. AVG anti-spyware (formerly Ewido) If using winXP. If you haven't already got this software (freeware), download, install, update and run it, preferably in safe mode.ġ. (you really have a task in front of you) that realistically they should be considering a format and start from scratch.

So the total lack of a normal windows boot may be the cause of this failure.Īfter so long their system is likely to be completely compromised with password stealers, backdoors, possibly rootkits hiding much more, etc. If as you say they can't boot normally, that may be the problem although avast does its scan outside of windows the normal windows boot starts (you see the windows logo) and is then interrupted to start the avast boot-time scan. Or use a command line, Windows, Start, Run and type, C:\Program Files\ALWIL Software\Avast4\sched.exe /A:* Right click the avast icon, select Start avast! Antivirus, Menu, 'Schedule boot-time scan.' as you have done, I have no idea why it isn't running. that is on their system, my only surprise is that there aren't more. Personally I not in the least surprised at the number of viruses, adware, etc. and scan his pc.i m shocked.why?because there about 50-60 virus found include adware,and trojan i follow the avast advice to move to chest.and the avast advice me to run boot times scan because there is a dangerous virus in memory, but when i click yes to start boot times scan. and now his pc is terribly slow :-\and cannot log on.then i help him log on with safe mode and install the avast on his pc.

And i got a friend he.do not use any antivirus at all, for about 1 years.
