 It mean's AVG has found something [celebrate that one] You should consider running Avast instead. I used to use AVG many years ago, until I scanned various PCs with Avast after they had been running AVG, only for me to find many viruses and trojans.

| They will conflict... use avast. Don't click on bullshit that tells you lies. I haven't had an AV running on my main machine for years. Why? because i know what the hell i download.... I also sandbox " stuph " before even checking it out... Security? sif. |

| thats right, dont run two virus programs along side each other as they will conflict. Up until very recently I was using AVG but under the advice of ASH (CF OWNER) i tried avast and after installing i did a scan and found that my computer was infact infected and AVG didnt pick up on this at all. So i would advise using avast. I know i will be from now on. |
