361073 2005-06-04 00:54:00 Running AVG Free Version. which picked up the Trojan Dropper.Small.22AW which infected C:\Windows\system32\Ati2mdxx.exe

AVG moved this to the Virus Vault and I am not sure what to do with it now it is there. I selected Heal as an option but this couldn't be done. Is it safe to delete it from the vault or what is the best course of action? By the way Spybot nor Microsoft Antispyware have picked this up.
Thanks

361074 2005-06-04 01:24:00 A virus won't usually be detected by anti-spyware programs.

"Process File: ati2mdxx or ati2mdxx.exe
Process Name: ATI Technologies Process

Description:
ati2mdxx.exe is installed alonside the hardware drivers of the ATI Radeon graphics card range. This program is a non-essential system process, but should not be terminated unless suspected to be causing problems."

I suggest you delete the infected file and re-install those drivers.

361075 2005-06-04 01:46:00 As Agent_24 says, that file belongs to a graphics card and is a non-essential file so yes, empty the vault. I would also recommend running CCleaner to clear out all your temp files and then disabling System Restore if you are running Win XP or ME. Reboot afterwards and re-enable System Restore again.

For extra reassurance give Stinger a run as well.
