Sorry....AVG is the worst free antivirus in the lastest tests.
You should prefer Antivir or Havast who are as best as the commercial softwares on the market. Install also a good anti spyware.
Try this: start you computer in safe mode then re-run the antivirus, it should work.
Good luck

Well, Yahoo! Answer doesn't have any viruses. Also, questions on Yahoo! answers can't carry viruses as you can't add any scripts to them.
What you can try doing is updating and scanning your antivirus then scan your PC.
If you still feel unsatisfied, try shifting to another Antivirus and see how things go...there are a lot of Antiviruses that come FREE these days.

it rather is not any longer rebooting. you're reformatting. specific that eliminates them, yet that gets extremely stressful. purely get Microsoft protection necessities or Avast! abode version. they're going to preserve you from maximum viruses, yet no software in the international will stop each little thing.

AVG is total junk. I recommend this free antivirus program. It is called antivir.

run you AVG in safe mode. you should be able to remove them from the vault then go to explorer run a file find on my computer find all files typing in the name of virus. then restart your computer in normal mode.
