Question - AVG Virus Vault

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

We've recently started using AVG after the Norton subscription ran out.

It found a "Trojan horse downloader" and put it in the Virus Vault.

If I click on the Trojan horse downloader in the virus vault and press "wipe objects" will it actually remove the downloader from my PC, or just remove it from the virus vault and stick it back on the computer?

stupid question i know...

It will do just that.
And if you wanna be sure, just run AVG once more. Easy as 1-2-3. ;D

BTW AVG rocks. Image

It certainly does, it's the only anti-virus I've ever used that hasn't irritated the hell out of me (Mcafee, Norton etc) and my spangly newish computer has always been trouble free :notworthy:
