Hi Paul
AVG isn't a trojan detector. You also need something on your computer that
will detect spyware such as Ad-aware, Spyware Blaster, Spyware Guard, or
Spybot. You can get these free from:

Subject: [jaws-uk] avg an virus detection query
Hi all,
Recently, my computer packed up. I lost all sound including JAWS.
It seems that I had inadvertently been switching off my AVG and so it wasn't
checking for viruses when I was on outlook or on the internet.
Fortunately my machine came back a week later with all viruses removed.
I was told by the friend who fixed it that AVGAS would just run in the
background and would not disturb me when switching on.
I am finding this not to be the case.
Over the past week, the AVG message have nearly always come up and also
another message saying Update AVG. I have pressed enter on thisand
presumably it has been updated and Been checking for viruses.
Tonight, I went onto the internet and got a message saying Virus detected.
I think it is something like Trojan Horse.
Is it possible for me to look for this and get rid of it or will I need
sighted assistance.
My friend is now away until a week tomorrow and I don't know who else I can
ask who is really knowledgeable about computers.
Hope someone can helpwith this one.
Also I would be interested in hearing from anyone else who has used or is
using AVG.
Regards
Paul.
