Description
avast! Virus Cleaner is a free tool that will help you remove selected virus & worm infections from your computer - it does not replace antivirus program! When your computer gets infected by a virus or worm, the virus often schedule itself to be run automatically when you start your operating system; some of them even register themselves to be run when any other application is started. Removing of it is not as simple as deleting it - after deleting the worm file, your operating system might not be able to start your applications (such as Explorer) any more. In order to properly remove the worm from your computer, it is often necessary to make additional fixes in your system registry, delete the links from your Startup Folder etc. Here it comes - it will find and remove selected worms from your computer, as well as fix the registry and startup items to make sure your system will work correctly after the disinfection.
Many worms - when activated - make additional working files on your hard disk. Even though these files alone are harmless, they are useless and they should not be there. When it detects and removes a known worm from your computer, its working/temporary files are removed as well. The same applies for worm-specific registry entries etc. It can also deactivate the virus present in memory.
