| 596383 | 2007-09-30 05:07:00 | AVG detected a threat called "JS/Downloader.Agent" in one of the Content.IE5 temporary internet files folders. I moved it to the Virus Vault, and then it seemed there were two of these files as two were listed in there. I tried to heal them, but it failed, so I just wiped them. I have done a complete AVG scan and eveything seems to be clean, but what else can I do to make sure my PC is alright after this "threat"? |

| 596385 | 2007-09-30 06:42:00 | Okay, I've done that. I also ran Spybot and Ad-Aware and they're both clean too. Is that all? | Chris815 (10270) | ||
| 596386 | 2007-09-30 06:49:00 | Yup, I dont think that file is nasty, it just downloads to the IE folder (like its cache) Clearing the cache should remove it. |

| 596387 | 2007-09-30 07:40:00 | Okay, that's good to hear! I'm wondering why it was labelled as a "threat" then... | Chris815 (10270) | ||
| 596388 | 2007-09-30 07:45:00 | Because of its name and most AV programs, have it in their database. I would say the JS means javascript. |
