I just got the first ever pop up saying 'suspicious file found, please submit to our labs for analysis' do I click on it or not? Have started scan as an interim activity but blardy box is blocking half of screen

thanks

Thats odd because I have had the very same message this morning.

I clicked ignore as reccomended and then it said that I should let it restart the computer and do a full scan which it did.

After the sacn it didn't say wether it found anything or not, and then about 5 minutes later the very same message popped up again.

I am running spybot at the mo to see if that finds anything.

if unsure click your own spyware and run

IllegallyBrunette · 15/12/2008 12:08

Thats the same message I had.

IllegallyBrunette · 15/12/2008 12:09

God I hope i haven't fucked up letting in run the scan.

IllegallyBrunette · 15/12/2008 12:16

Spybot has said no immediate threats found.

God knows whats going on then.

Thanks - a lot of forums like avast website etc seem to appear with it on google and are saying it is genuine but an avast problem possibly?

I clicked on ignore as well and it is restarted now, have been running avast scan but will do ti again now...
