[QUOTE="PatEM, post: 314236, member: 31803"] I have been receiving a mutltiude of pop-up warnings from Avast indicating that malware has been blocked and resolved. There are 7 of them at a given time, and can occur every 5 minutes some times, the exact same ones, none of which appearing in the quarrentine. On further inspection, the destination file (explorer.exe) now has two instances. One taking significantly more space than the other, and does not give a 'file destination' when clicked. It can not be ended (in terms of the task manager's processes view) and when I ahve managed to end it, replaces itself shortly after. I have ran scans with Avast, AVG and IObit which have not detected anything. I also have used the CMD in safe mode using the command SFC /SCANNOW to no success. Attached is a picture of the two explorer files and ONE (of the 7) malware warnings avast has been sending. [ATTACH]36657[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]36656[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
