The OS security centre on my computer keeps making a "POP!" sound and displaying the infection warning.
The red button with the white cross is always displayed on the bottom bar on desktop.
On the 10th October, the online scanner of my avast! home edition had detected a virus. I had consigned that to the "chest". During a subsequent scan, more infected files were discovered. There were "errors" in moving/deleting these. After that, I repeatedly get virus warnings when I am online.
I have done an online scan with another anti-virus site and that turned up a few files as well some of which I could delete manually and one with a dot htm extension could not be found.
A scan by avast! with the computer booted in safe mode did not detect any infection.
But the OS warning remains. Also, on pressing ctrl-alt-del I get the message that the admin has disabled the task manager whereas there's one user of this computer, me, and I have not disabled the task mgr.
Could someone stage a remedy other than formatting?

Sorry for the delay".
So I thought I'd bump the thread.
