You run your AV with restore disabled.

I moved the virus to a quarantine... or chest.... now im running an avast virus removal tool... and system restore is off... but since i put the infected file in quarantine.. im not sure if the scan.. will be able to reach it...

I also installed Avast on a new machine (XP Pro) yesterday which I have just built for my 19-year old son. It found a couple of infected files yesterday on the first scan. I initially selected "repair" but the prog could not repair so I deleted the files. The machine today seems to have many more infected files (W32:Trojan - various numbers).
1) My son (like most other users) will give a "not me guv" response to all questions but it may well be sites which he has visited.
2) Is Avast any good? Does anyone have any knowledge on this?
3) Being ultra cynical ... could the infection have come from Avast? Not an accusation, merely a question!!!
