I have had that happen. I think that AVG blocked the attempt by the website to place its virus packet in your system. I did run a couple of on line antivirus/secuity scans at Symantec and PC Flank. Then I ran the system and antivirus scans at PC Pitstop to make sure my security settings were correct and no virus was present. This was all to give me peace of mind and to make sure my system was clean. All the best!

AVG does have a quarantine file and if it found something then it's probably in there unless you have deleted it . Just open up the AVG program and it's under PROGRAM---> AVG virus vault and see if it shows anything if so delete it .
