are trojan horse downloaders and clickers bad? Please help.
I recently scanned my computer with superantispyware and it cleaned up a few things. I thought I had scanned with AVG earlier but I don't think I had as it started by itself this morning. I had to leave it - I saw it had found something 'bad' and have been trying to find out what it was now that it was all finished scanning. BUT I can just find records of viruses found in scans from a few months back which I didn't even know had been found.

Anyway, what I have are:
Trojan Horse Downloader.Zlob.MCQ

and

Trojan Horse Clicker.GMC

The clicker one is located in a programme I use a lot. I have had this trojan horse there before and when I 'fixed' it, it deleted the whole programme. Will I have to do this again??

I also posted on the malware thread with my HJT log, before I saw these trojan things. Why did superantispyware not pick these up? Are they really a problem?

Please help. Thanks.
