Question
I just removed a virus using avast and i'm not sure whether the virus can still hack into accounts such as bank accounts, facebook, emails, etc. The avast told me that there are no viruses found right now.

Answer
hi se

when it comes to viruses you have to rely on your AV software just like we do when we go to the doctor. on the other hand if you are still not sure your system is virus free, you can uninstall avast and try instead AVIRA FREE ANTIVIRUS. just dont have two antiviruses working at the same time though.

hope i was of help - pls rate my answer thanks
