If AVG detected a virus it will be storing it in the virus vault. Go into virus vault and opt to delete the virus. Virus vault can be accesed from the main menu.
AnswerMy AVG found Trojan Horse Dropper Generic, informed me and put it into the Virus Vault. (AVG said that it had 'healed' the virus ... oh yeah ?)I went into Virus Vault and manually deleted it by just using the 'Delete' button.Problem solved ... I think. So far, so good.- but the moment you run the scan, it will appear again.
I picked up this drooper.small.5.J Trojan from so,e net site...I think it attacked my browser cookies. I have AVG and when I ran it it detected the Trojan and put it in my virus vault it was located in the system file: windows/96WU19RD.EXE....moving to the virus vault seemed to satisfy the AVG alerts. I could not "heal" the file with the AVG so i left it isolated in the virus vault. Problem is AVG disallows the use of windows media. I think the cure for this problem is here: wilderssecurity.com
IVE just updated my avg antivirus software and run it. It found downloader.briss and removed it to the virus vault.
Hey if it is deleted it will again affect the computer so its fine to keep it in virus vault....................
When you moved the file to the AVG Virus Vault it was deleted from its original location, coded, and then saved in a non-executable file in a hidden folder. Your PC is no longer infected.If you are not missing any data file and your applications are running, then you can delete these vaulted files from the AVG Virus Vault. You can do it selectively: from AVG Virus Vault program-> select files -> right click on the selection -> Delete file(s).Or you can delete all AVG Virus Vault contents in one go: Open the AVG Control Center program -> right click on AVG Virus Vault component -> choose"Empty vault".
I just ran a free scan with TREND MICRO Housecall 6.5 and got rid of it. In addition, it even fixes whatever mess this Trojan has left behind.
You can leave it there or empty the vault. Either way, you are safe.
I had this same problem with a computer at work. AVG 7.0 wouldn't heal the infected files automatically or move them to the Virus Vault. I moved the infected files into the Virus Vault myself. You can do this in AVG. Once in the Vault, you can delete them. Don't delete if they are critical or actual system files. The infected files were simply temporary Internet files, but because they were in Windows\Temporary Internet Files\IE content (Windows98), they read as system files and AVG wouldn't touch them. I ran another couple of scans after doing this and the machine was clear. Hope this helps.
1. Disable System Restore "how to disable system restore" on google 2. Run AVG (grisoft.com) its free 3. Reboot 4. Renable System Restore Check your AVG vault for any viruses and delete them.
My free version of AVG detected this Trojan horse, but didn't give instructions on how to get rid of it. I followed the path on the test center to see where it was located, and when I got into that folder a box popped up that allowed me to "heal" it or remove it to the virus vault.
