AVG Help!

I use AVG anti-virus. Sometime recently, something disabled it though and I've just reinstalled and started a new scan. It's found four trojans so far adn it's still going.

So my question is two-fold:

1) The trojans are in the systems folder and I read recently in someone's LJ that some of these might not actually be trojans. I don't want to crash my system, so does anyone know what those files were called? Which ones I can delete?

2) My PC upstairs is no longer on the internet. Is there any way for me to copy the latest protection files from this computer and put them onto the other one manually?


Please help. *puppy eyes*

I was the AVG warning bearer! I'm not good with this stuff, and I only knew about it because a friend helped me with it... but if you google it, there's forums for these kind of problems, where people give detailed istructions and you can even post questions for a tailored answer (don't worry, they're perfectly legit).

hope this helps (some)!

I think it's okay. It seemed to quarantine the trojans and everything is still working so far. Phew!
Thanks! :D
