"I recently encountered a virus. I thought I got rid of it but apparently it is still there. I have been looking through my files and for the ones I don't know what they are I delete them. However, some of the files it says the file or folder and then says "It is being used by another person or program"." Do you encounter the same problem?? Dont worry, avast can solve them for you, :D
