Computer Security & Viruses/Removing virus

Question
Hi Doug

My AVG antivirus said it found two viruses. However, it said it cleaned 0 and deleted 0. I then moved them to the virus vault. Did I do the correct thing?

I could not find a log with the name of the virus which I could copy the name of. I thought it would be an idea to find out some info on it to see how serious it was. Do you think I should find out more about it and how do I do so?

I have Win 2000.

Your help will be appreciated
Regards Richard.


Answer
Hi Richard,
Did it give you the names of the Viruses?
Are you using the free version?
You should be able to just select the virus in the vault and delete it.
Here is the link to the free AVG Forum,
