Hi there,I'm new to the forum so please be gentle

My machine is suddenly freezing, then makinga constant beep noise, thus making me turn the whole thing off.
It started whn my avast spotted the file as follows
c:/documentandsettings/helpassistant.mikey./localsettings/tempnps15.tmpcontains sample of 'js:pdfka-SD(expl)

Avast asked me to move to chest or delete, moving had no effect.
it still came up with teh alert malware found and trojan found.
After looking up some posts beforehand i did the following


UNLESS SPECIFICALLY INSTRUCTED, DO NOT POST THIS LOG.
