I recently ran a virus scan using the free version of avast, and it discovered the threat "Win32:GenmaliciousA-UMO [Adw]" in C:\Users:\(user)\Appdata\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\IE\SH7IW974\Setup[1].exe|>$QUICKLAUNCH\OAS\oas.exe
I have no clue how or when I got the virus, but I believe it may have happened after I loaned my computer to my sister a few months back. There were multiple viruses webroot found, some of which were win32 related. To be clear, webroot expired and I deleted it to replace it with avast. I let avast "fix" the problem automatically, but that didn't do anything at all. I rescanned a day later and the virus had returned from the quarantine while the file avast had quarantined wound up in my temporary internet files. I understand that OAS files are pretty critical, so I don't want to play around too much without some guidance. I have also put forth a bit of time trying to find information online before asking here, but nobody seems to have anything at all to say about this specific virus. All I find is information about other Win32s. How could I go about tackling this specific virus?
