That sounds logical, except this dialogue had several options and none of
them was like the OK at the end of the update service, for instance. They
were real things you'd want to be able to choose from among. And although
that dialogue disappears, the AVG interface for Control Center that has been
launched remains on the screen. Also, the dialogue came up again, a few
minutes later, but I didn't catch it that time, either. But thanks.

Usually when an AVG box times out it activates the button that it thinks is
most appropriate, e.g. the ok button on the update finished screen, so I
would be inclined to believe that it had got of rid of the threat for you.
But I would do a system scan just in case, better to be safe than sorry!
