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!

For the first time ever, I got a threat advisory from AVG Free Edition. I was in the kitchen and heard Jaws speaking, as if it had focused on something completely unfamiliar to me. I came back to the computer just in time to hear that I was being read a dialogue telling me about a Trojan found in some program or other, DLL you know sort of thing, many numbers,and asking me if I wanted to heal, move to virus vault, and so forth. Exceptjust as I instinctively began pressing my tab key to move among the options, as I imagined I'd be able to do, the thing just disappeared,leaving me in the interface of the AVG control center, which apparently hadbeen launched in order to display this advisory.I don't know what to do. Can I make that dialogue reappear? And then, if itstays visible long enough, how can I decide which control to activate and how to activate it? Thanks. This is worrisome. I don't want to leave some threat sitting in a file possibly able to do damage if I don't respond . -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.comJFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxTo unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.Archives located at: //www.freelists.org/archives/jfwIf you have any concerns about the list, post received from the list, or the way the list is being run, do not post them to the list.
