How do i fix this virus problem?

Question

ok, i have AVG 8 (free edition), and i ran a scan on my computer. it caught a bunch of viruses and put them in the virus vault. but it also shows a bunch of warnings on programs i know to be malicious. but it doesn't do anything regarding those warnings, or let me do anything about them.

example:

"C:\documents and settings/allen 1/cookies......"

result/infection: "found tracking cookie:advertising".

and it doesn't show it as a threat, although i recognize some names and i see pop ups from those names.

so what can i do to fix these or get rid of these popups/advertisements.

Answer 1

Cookies are nothing to worry about.

Answer 2

If you know that is a bad program or file then you go to the directory and delete it.  Make sure you enable all hidden objects in folder because files and folders tend to be hidden.  Also go to run and type msconfig and go to startup tab and disable any programs you do not recognize.  Good luck.

Answer 3

delete avg and try avira free edition to solve the issue

if not try kaspersky internet security 7.0.0.125
