Virus - Trojan Horse Help please

Hi just a quickie. I am running AVG free virus software. There are 4 Trojan Horse threats in the virus vault. My question is are you supposed to leave them there or do I press the 'empty the vault' button. If I empty the vault will this let them out into my computer again or does it delete them? Thanks
:p

    Thanks for the advice I already have malwarebytes on here and am running a scan as we speak. I've used AVG for years and never had a problem, it's my own stupid fault, in a moment of madness yesterday I was downloading something and a warning came up and I, for some inexplicable reason, chose to ignor it and yep you guess it now I have !!!!!! adverts popping up all over the place eeek. I will run the hijack after the malware has finished thanks.
