Hi, wonder if anyone can help me..Have AVG anti-virus (free edition) on my PC and just recently been getting a warning about a threat detected saying:

Trojan horse Pakes.UP
C:\WINDOWS\system32\advpackp.dll
Backup copy
Infected

What does this mean and how can I sort this out?!!
Thanks in advance peeps,

Throw the contraption out of the window saying "I'm mad as hell and I'm not taking it anymore". A problem shared is a problem quadrupled, as they say.
Good luck.
