hi i have installed avg on my computer and run a scan it has found 2 viruses and they are worm viruses i would like to know how to get rid of them or put them in the virus vault so i could delete them from there.

rachel:Once AVG has completely scanned your PC and found the viruses, a dialog box should appear, giving you the option to move the viruses to the vault. To delete the viruses from the vault, click on Program > AVG Virus Vault > select the viruses you wish to delete, then click Delete.

The problem is that since you have Win Xp (or Me) these bugs can hide in your system restore function files. When you go to move them ot the vault, if it gives you an refusal and says the files cannot be moved, they should identify them as system restore files.
If that happens do this:

and do not re-enable them until your machine is clean. to check for trojans (use in order):
Trojan Hunter trial version:

Trojan Scan:

If AVG moves them to the vault then you have to go to the vault and (make back-ups) and delete the files in the vault.
