Eek! Avg say i have a trojan - what should i do pls?

cestlavie

Hello
I have just seen that AVG scan says I am infected as follows

Detection Name : Trojan Horse Java Agent X
Object Name: C:|Users|Documents|*PC|Backupset2008-07-16 (etc)
Object Type : File
SDK Type : Core
Result : Infected

I see there is a button on AVG scan that says I can remove these infections - I presume in one fell swoop. I also presume it is perfectly okay for me to do this? But wonder why AVG didn't just heal this themselves?

I'd be very grateful for any wisdom you clever boffins can offer as I am not very techie-minded. Am mega worried.

Have a look at the last post here, then click the blue links, use the manual steps for the temporary internet files, then when you run the full AVG scan, let it remove it, though it may mean it just moves it to quarrantine

This is optional, after the above, run an online scanner

Might want to download malwarebytes and give it a scan, post the results.
