Hello,
Tuesday when i ran my AVG antivirus it found 2 trojans in this file..
C:\hp\drivers\hpiz423\setup\copy\copy.cab
it was called…
PSW.Onlinegames.AJVH
I did 2 online scans with Panda and Kaspersky and they both found nothing. and i also uploaded the file to a online scanner where they scan your file with about 30+ differnt antivirus scanners and only 2 of them found anything, AVG and Norman. Norman called it a W32/OnLineGames.AUFD.
But yesterday i updated my AVG and now if does not find anything, so my question is was it a false alert?
Thank you for any help..

CONTACT AVG on their help line they will talk you through it.
try emailing them
They would be keen to help as they have a serious reputation to consider and they want to remain top dog.

If two of the AV engines in that on line scan found something, I think a scan with PC Tools Threatfire 3 is in order. It finds new and difficult to find badware before most other services know about it. Removal may be trickier, since that badware seems to have come from an on line gaming site. I would recommend Super Anti-Spyware Free Edition (http://www.superantispyware.com/) since this program has found rootkit-protected badware on my computers more than once, and it removes more badware than SpySweeper or AVG Free. Most likely, the two suspects you mention are adware, not dangerous Trojans, but it never hurts to be careful.
