first of all it is not good to have 2 virus softwares installed on the same pc..because they would conflict..instead u can have 1 virus removal software and some adware and spyware removal softwares...the best are ad-aware and spybot search and destroy...if u scan ur computer with ur AVG and the 2 i have mentioned, ur PC should be very safe

Got the same problem, clicked on his link twice xD
I got an alert from McAfee, but it couldn't remove it. Running a full system scan with avast! at the moment. Then, I'm going to run McAfee, then Ad-Aware SE, SUPERAntispyware, Spybot, and if all fails, then I'll just use System Restore.

Dont know if your computer would be affected by a virus. We have a replacement for 'man' in the form of applele. We all should stop him from mischief and report him under abuse.

Unfortunately, the time when Internet was full of nice and good intention was passed. You need an antivirus for your computer.
