It gets me that the virus check done at boot time, which if it finds an infected file, starts a lengthy search for others, is unable to correct the problems, whereas if I run the virus check when I Windows, it can correct it. At least it said it repaired 2 of 4. Then I still had to download the repair tool and once running it said it fixed 4 of 4.
I think I'm clean now.
