Ah. Well leave it then. If no more threats were found, then fine, leave it till next time. Hope that helps.

Chris,
Not a bad suggestion, to take a look in the virus vault. But the rest seems 
a bit overcomplicated. I mean, I've just performed a full system scan, and
turned up no more threats. Why would I be so anxious that I'd do exactly the 
same thing all over again? I have a feeling it's taken care of.

Thanks.

Hi, why not check the AVG Virus Vault and see if it's gone to there.
Alternatively, do a scan on that particular file only, if it can be found
that is. If no threats were detected on the file itself, then chances are it healed it successfully. If in doubt, just perform another full scan. Chances 
are the alert won't come up and you'll truly have no threats on your
computer. Hope that helps.

Well, following Jennifer's suggestion, I launched the AVG Test Center and
ran a full test, hoping that if I'd failed to give a useful command when I 
got the notice that it had caught a Trojan and left it untreated, this
would
take care of it.

Well, I sure hope that AVG really did something to fix it by default when
I
failed to issue a command in that advisory dialogue earlier, because after 
running the full scan, it says no threats found, nothing deleted, nothing
moved to the virus vault. So I sure hope it was handled without my
participation. Input, as we say. I'll cross my fingers.

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!

Subject: How to activate AVG buttons in a threat alert
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.
Except
just 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
had
been launched in order to display this advisory.

I don't know what to do. Can I make that dialogue reappear? And then, if
it
stays 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 .
