• If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
• Once the program has loaded, select "Perform Quick Scan", then click Scan.
• The scan may take some time to finish, so please be patient.
• When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
• Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.

Extra Note:
If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be presented with 1 of 2
prompts, click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process, if asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately.

Did you run the Avira Rescue CD?

[paulme8337]

No, I haven't run the Avira Rescue CD, sorry.

The infected machine is a "netbook" style pc with no disk drive. I do not have a separate plug-in (usb) cd drive, so I have no means of running it.

I need you to run Avira System Rescue and you can do this with an USB.

See this article to know how to do. If you have some problems, ask me. Ok?
