    Hi.

    First of all, I did search the previous threads and only found one relating to a.bat but it was with someone using Windows XP.

    For about 2 or 3 months now, whenever I turn my computer on Avast warns me 2 or 3 times straight that there is a.bat virus in the C:\ root. I delete it every time and it still shows up. I do not know if it is because of something I downloaded because I didn't pay attention to it for a little while. I have done multiple boot-up scans with Avast and nothing turns up.

    Can someone please give me a little insight into how to take care of this nuisance? It doesn't seem to have a negative affect on anything it is just annoying. Thank you very much for you time.

    Ok, I am not sure if that helped or not because now Avast Resident Protection doesn't even work. Also, whenever I restart my computer and log on my screen is black. I have to bring up the task manager and manually start explorer.exe

    No one can help you unless you complete the instructions that Lev gave to you and attach the logs that were requested. You may have a Win32/Bagle trojan. It will disable all antivirus and many other protection software. If you have this trojan, you are going to need your Windows boot CD to boot to the Recovery Console to remove the malware files.
