Anyone familiar with AVG anti virus?

I think it's possible that I have picked up a Trojan Horse opening a web address today. I did the scan with my AVG antivirus ware and everything seemed to be taken care of except now I keep getting a system alert (yellow sign) telling me I need to download additional virus protection and offers me a couple of choices. My question: Is this a legitimate alert? Is it possible that AVG didn't take care of the Trojan? If it did and these alerts are bogus, how then do I get rid of the alerts?



Thank you

It's completely bogus...that is spyware. Try using the following tools to scan for and remove it (you will have better luck starting Windows in Safe Mode and scanning):

run a scan to see if you find something



I would recommend Antivir over AVG

If it is a new virus issued today, then AVG may have missed it - all other viruses are blocked.



AVG can't handle a massive attack with many viruses and spyware because no anti-virus can always block them when you visit wierd websites.
