Title: AVG Free Edition
Post by: Bob's Orange on Monday, June 11, 2007, 11:41:34
Ok people, I need some help.

My PC has been frankly appalling recently and so I have run my AVG virus thingmy to discover a whack of Trojan Horse viruses that have been moved to this 'Vault'

When I go into said 'Vault' I don't have the option to 'heal objects' as this is greyed out. If I Wipe Objects does that heal them or just get rid of them from the 'vault'??

Yours,

Stupid from Luxembourg

I've often deleted/wiped them. Think the idea of healing them is incase of infected crucial system files?

I normally prefer to find them manually in safe mode and use Erazer to remove everything i can find. It works for me, but i do tend to have an oath like tendency to be like a bull in a china shop and normally just reinstall my hardrive image in the end anyway.  :shrug:

Just wipe them if there's no option to heal.

If your computer's got trojans then chances are it's clogged with spyware too. Download and run Adaware - this will help too.
