Just wondering

phenom · 11-21-2008, 02:23 AM

I just did a scan with AVG AS and it returned a couple of 'high-risk' results.

However, I checked the file location and they seem to be apart programs which I have voluntarily installed and used quite a bit, including a couple of commercial games.

They are:

Trojan.Gologger.d
Trojan.Proxcrak.a
Trojan.Renos.dws
Trojan.Lmir.ayr
downloader.agent.a
downloader.agent.kok
downloader.zlob.kpb

So, am I actually infected or is AVG being inaccurate?

I'm fine getting rid of them, but I was just wondering if I should as they are apart of programs I use frequently.

Are they actually dangerous or is it a mistake?

Hi phenom -

You're not giving us enough info to go on...what are the file names/paths of what AVG has identified as threats?

AVG AS = AVG AntiSpyware? ....are the definitions current on that? Does the updater still work? I had thought it was obsolete and unsupported.
