308885 2004-12-30 09:29:00 If AVG wasn't able to remove them, where did it report the location of them? What was the name of the viruses? Jen (38)

update it before you run it .
That should remove them for you.

308887 2004-12-30 09:35:00 Try restarting into safemode, then run AVG again.

Most likely what is happening is that the trojan is being "protected" by Windows. By starting in safemode, the trojan isn't initiated,therefore not protected by windows.

If that doesn't work, you will need to quote where AVG say's it is...eg c:\windows\system\kjhvkjhs.exe

308889 2004-12-30 20:41:00 AVG says to start it in safe mode, how do I do that? starfish (3019)
308890 2004-12-30 20:52:00 After you boot your system press and hold down F8. Select safe mode. Speedy Gonzales (78)
308891 2004-12-30 21:33:00 When restarting the PC, after it counts the memory ( Memory check ) , keep pressing F8 key repeatedly , about every half second, till a menu comes up which lists safemode. If you see the windows screen before this menu, then you have missed it.

Another method is to go start-run and enter MSCONFIG
Then click on BOOT.INI tab
Put a tick in the box /safeboot
Restart PC
