Just throwing my hat into the ring as another 'victim' of the JS:Nimbda-B threat. Can't quarantine and can't delete. Looking forward to some updates from AVG about what's going on.

Hello John,
Thank you for the screen shots.
We regret to hear about the inconvenience caused.
Its a malicious JavaScript, which found in browser cache. It was probably found on some site we visited, and was already running in the browser, leaving your Mac no worse for it. It may have done something like display a scam pop-up or something similar, or may have attempted to infect the machine via Windows vulnerabilities (which would not work on your Mac). We can safely ignore this. Please clear your browsers caches, that should fix the issue. Use the link to refer how to remove the caches : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7901091? start=0&tstart=0 and https://support.apple.com/kb/PH21491?locale=en_US
Please, feel free to let us know if you require any further assistance.
Thank you.
