My computer says i have a virus, can someone help?

Question

on my computer, it says theres a virus and my anti virus which is AVG 8.0 has it in the virus vault. and AVG 8.0 will not update, so i want to un install AVG 8.0 and re install AVG 7.5, but since i have a virus in the virus vault, what should i do?

should i un-install it anyway?

or do i risk my comp being harmed by the virus?

Answer 1

If I were you I would install MacroVirus antivirus software.  I have it and I love it.  Ya, its not one of the free antivirus programs, but I believe it does come with a free trial.  I would rather pay, and know that my antivirus software will keep my computer safe, then download a free program and get infected.

Answer 2

It will ask you if you want to keep it in the virus vault or delete it.I would recommend that you keep it in the virus vault.

Answer 3

If it's in the vault it shouldn't be able to do any harm.  

Back up your important files and try to do a system restore to before you got the virus and then try to update AVG.
