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.
