1. Some viruses infect other files on your computer turning them into viruses.
2. A false positive is when an antivirus program mistakenly identifies a file as a virus even if it is not. This happens fairly often.
3. Asda could be a virus, but that is very unlikely. The first two are much more likely explanations.
My advice is the same as in the other thread.
First. Run housecall (link in other thread)
Second. Run your antivirus.
Third. Install and run a 30 day free trial of a good AV such as
Trial versions - G Data Software AG
Try doing that from Safe Mode with Networking. Repeatedly press F8 while your computer is starting up to enter Safe Mode.
Getting a virus has nothing to do with how good your computer is.
