Found by MS Security Essentials

AVG Protection

Hi Peter,

We're glad to look into this & help you.
Usually, AVG programs notifies you, if it has found any malicious url, file.
If there is a scan scheduled on your computer, then the scan would perform the action that was set by you upon the detected files.
From your description, we see that MS Security Essentials is set to remove detected files & AVG is set to move files to quarantine.
However, quarantine is an isolated environment on your computer & the files moved to quarantine will not have an impact on your computer.
To know more about quarantine, you can check this article.

I recently ran a full scan of my win7 computer.
 
These were found and removed. Some from three places such as C drive, Back-up Drive, Memory stick. Also some removed from Quarantine. Back-up would not complete due to those in Quarantine.
 
1. TrojanDownloader:JS/Nemocod.SG
 
2. Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.C!ml
 
3. Misleading:Win32/Softeallion
 
4. BrowserModifier:JS/Spigot.G!MSR
 
5. Misleading:Win32/Lodi
 
 
Is there a reason that  your AVG Internet Security.INK failed to find and remove these? I have no way now to know if AVG found and they were in Quarantine.
 
Thank you,
