SCTRI.EXE?

Was noticing some irregularities with my settings and internet connection so I scanned my computer with my Avast! Anti virus. I already did it last night so I expected it to run smoother tonight. It did, without alarming that there were viruses. I thought that maybe the virus was already out but some setting were changed so I tried System Recovery. I couldn't get any successful previous settings so I thought of maybe reformatting and reinstalling my OS. This was my last resort only of course.

With the sporadic internet connectivity that I got, I persistently tried to go to Download.com. Many times in the past, even with my old system, I was able to download optimizer programs and other free ones that could help me with my problem. From the top downloaded list, AVG was there and I noticed a program called Advanced SystemCare. I have used system optimizers before and I thought that I would need one right now. I had to refresh a few times but I was able to get the programs to run anyway.

Got the optimizer first since it was way smaller than AVG. It was quite complete and I was able to use most of it. Haven't exactly felt the results yet but I'm sure that my system is now running faster than usual.

On the other hand, I was sure that AVG did much help to me and my connection. It was able to detect that I had a SCTRI.EXE virus in my system right after I updated its database and scanned my hard drive. It was able to try to heal or remove the files infected but it wasn't able to restore my settings. There would still be some sort of glitches but at least I'm not infected anymore here.

Next thing to do is to get a good Firewall program, I guess.

Meanwhile, I'm still recovering from an illness. Hopefully I continue to get better this weekend as I would need to go to a medical exam on Tuesday the latest.
