Uhmm hello guys.
It is my first post in here, and as you might have expected, I came here via Google. I usually get nothing on my machine, but an AVG scan today revealed a " Virus Found JS/Phish " The offending file is apparently located in Local Settings/Administrator Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/lllnllll.default/cache/offending file The l and n stand for letters and numbers there. AVG has taken it to the virus vault, and has said that the file isn't healable. Could somebody advise me as to what I should do here ? Changing all my passwords is probably a start, but this is a phishing attempt and not a trojan right ? Surprisingly a smart SCAN by my ADAWARE revealed nothing. Any help will be appreciated. Are my files safe because AVG has taken it to the virus vault ? AVG describes it as " The Virus Vault is used to lock up infected files out of harms way. " Should I simply delete it ? Or reformat the whole thing ? Thanks |

Uhmm weird as it may sound, could I ask one question.
As the virus ( a file from cache at Firefox) has been taken into the virus vault, will it be detected by the other antiviruses ? When you go to the AVG folder when the supposed files are kept ( the virus vault) you can't see them. |

Depends on the scanner Quote:
They are hidden files and can be deleted through the AVG interface. How are you coming along with the steps I have provided? I would like to wrap this up as fast as possible for you. |
