Answer 1

My AVG took care of them automatically.

Answer 2

OH... trojan viruses are realy stupid things.. hate them.. But ESET SMART SECURITY is realy good in removing trojan virusesPS wait for auto remove.. Because if you do it yourself it could happen that you remove onli a part of the virus, and you could not remove the other part..

Answer 3

If a file is in use at the time AVG (or any virus scanner) is run, it is unable to delete the file (a security limit build into Windows to keep you from crashing your PC by deleting files it is using).  So instead it moves them to the vault, where they are blocked from being able to affect your computer.

Usually you will not be able to remove them from the vault until you have rebooted the computer (so the files are no longer in use).  Then AVG will automatically delete them for you.

You do not have to worry about delete files once they are moved to the vault.  But if you want to delete them yourself, you can once the scan is done.

Answer 4

Avast! 4.8 home edition is better than avg, you can leave those in there, but you probably have a lot more trojans.
