    Default reboots normal

    Had to restart and it seems to reboot the normal way. I will try the on-line scan.

    Default hmmm

    When I ran TrendMicro my Avast was still running and it popped up with a virus and told me to move to chest. I did, but I am not sure what it was. I thought it said it was a worm and it was in the system 32 folder. But I am looking in my Avast chest and I see something called iDump.exe and it says it was in C:\Program Files\Dump

    Default Trend Micro

    Oh, I forgot, Trend Micro found something else - called a rogue something.

    Okay did Trend clean it? If so I would just say let things run for a couple days and check back in.

    Default avast

    I'm not too impressed with avast after all this but don't know what we should replace it with, if anything.
    The guy who sold the computer to us years ago said it was better than norton or macafee because they slow down your computer too much.
    I just want something that works better. We have a content filter so we avoid a lot of questionable sites that way, but obviously we still are running into problems that avast doesn't catch.

    Well, no one AV is going to catch everything. With that said, for the free products I recommend Avira Antivir. If anything sometimes it's too aggressive and will give false positives, but I think it's the best of the 3 big free "A's" (AVG, Avast, Avira).

    Make sure to uninstall Avast first if you do decide to switch.
