selected the 'remove infection' option. My computer is now showing some weird signs (which were also there before the rootkit discovery). Sometimes it will completely
freeze for about 1-2 minutes, then work again. Again, these signs were also there BEFORE the infection was found.
I am now scared that my computer is still infected, despite nothing being found when i scan. I still use Avast! free edition.
THE PROBLEM I FACE
I'm a frequent user of Portable Apps. (applications that can be downloaded to a portable drive and be used from that drive)
I want to download a new bunch of apps, but I am scared that the rootkit might still be in my system, in which case it might transfer itself to my usb-drive.
Since the applications are portable, I will be using them at school and on my friends' computers. I don't want to spread malware throughout my town

If any more info is needed, please let me know.
Thanks in advance!
