Array Problem -LC 7.0.1

[MaxV]

Now, how do I "neutralize" the array?
delete array36
doesn't work.

The correct code is:

Code: Select all

put empty into array36

You can also use the "delete variable" command. see the dictionary.

The short answer to my problem is (was) a virus.

When I tried to run the compiled programme
Avast Antivirus popped up to inform me that
it was infected and deleted it.

I accepted its offer of a complete scan and the
result was amazing. For the best part of four
hours the list of infected files moved slowly
up the screen. Those infected included most
of my carefully preserved back-ups and even
the System Volume Information of my numerous
partitions.

As each file moved up the word "Deleted" was
appended to each one. In my ignorance I thought
this mean the file, rather than the infection, had
gone.

I was delighted to find that I was wrong and my
computer is now working normally.

The moral of this story: good virus protection
and a good malware scanner e.g. Malwarebytes
(which can co-exist with Avast).

The question I have is not how the virus arrived
but why didn't Avast pick it up sooner.
