I have an AVG Identity pop up telling me

[sufrommich]

that a threat has been detected, it says it's found a known trojan/backdoor and recommends that I quarantine the threat. Last time I did this it was a virus program posing as AVG. The pop up cant be closed, any suggestions?

1. I can not imagine ever not quarantining what AVG has identified s a trojan...

You can search on the name of the threat to learn more if you need reassurance or are concerned it might be a file that is not a threat.. But quarantining is the safest option. Do you have a setpoint on your computer that you could return to if needed?

2. I do have my computer set to automatically make set points. I guess I

should just quarantine then? I think what bothers me is that I cant close the pop up, does that sound kosher to you?

3. Well, if it finds a serious threat, I think AVG requires a response from you & won't let

you just click out.

4. Thanks H, I quarantined the virus and restarted

my computer, seemed to work. I appreciate your help.

5. No problem... it is scary when that happens...

6. It wouldn't hurt to do a boot time scan

just to make sure it is gone. I usually do that with trojans.
