Mourning the loss of our friend, WhitPhil.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but they're the easiest to answer.

I am STILL trying to find a way to uninstall AVG 7.5 and was going to install the free Avast. But in the meantime I still have AVG 7.5. So today AVG found a Trojan virus then the popup disappeared before I could do anything. I checked the Vault but the files only go up to 2008. Not sure where to find it now, and if I have a Trojan virus in my computer or not.

Hi not sure if Avg 7.5 still have definition updates.
Have you tried to update?
I'd run an online scan and see if it finds anything.

Dear HollyG,
Both Trojans and AVG make me tremble! "it ain't my scene"(copyright of Def Leppard's song-"pour some sugar on me"). By the way, what Firewall is protecting your system?

The General Security forum is only for general questions regarding security software and things of that nature but not for actually removing malware as we have qualified helpers who are the only members who are authorized to assist with those matters. You can easily identify them as they have either a gold or blue shield beside their usernames. Please refer to this excerpt from the rules:

Quote:
Log Analysis/Malware Removal - In order to ensure that advice given to users is consistent and of the highest quality, those who wish to assist with security related matters must first graduate from one of the malware boot camp training universities or be approved by the administration as already being qualified. Those authorized to help with malware issues have a gold shield next to their name and authorized malware removal trainees have a blue shield next to their names. Anyone wishing to participate in a training program should contact a Moderator for more information.
I'm going to close this thread and ask you to repost in the Malware Removal & HijackThis Logs forum for the proper assistance.
